Answer:

Protons = 50

Mass number = 119

Explanation:

A neutral of tin, Sn, has a Z value of 50 and neutrons are 69.

Z is the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to number of protons or number of electrons in an atom that is neutral i.e:

Z = PROTONS = ELECTRONS

So the number of protons = 50 since Z is 50

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>¦

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. To calculate mass number, we simply sum all the elementary particles in the nucleus i.e protons and neutrons. These particles are called the nucleons.

Mass number (A) = P + N

= 50 + 69

= 119

An object travels with velocity v = 4.0 meters/second and it makes an angle of 60.0° with the positive direction of the y-axis.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

2 m/s and -2 m/s

Explanation:

The object travels with an angle of

60.0°

with the positive direction of the y-axis: this means that it lies either in the 1st quadrant (positive x) or in the 2nd quadrant (negative x).

If it lies in the 1st quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

$v_x = v cos \theta = (4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=2 m/s$

If it lies in the 2nd quadrant, the value of vx (component of v along x direction) is:

$v_x = -v cos \theta = -(4.0 m/s) cos 60.0^{\circ}=-2 m/s$

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

W = 12.96 J

Explanation:

The force acting in the direction of motion of the sand paper is the frictional force. So, we first calculate the frictional force:

F = μR

where,

F = Friction Force = ?

μ = 0.92

R = Normal Force = 2.6 N

Therefore,

F = (0.92)(2.6 N)

F = 2.4 N

Now, the displacement is given as:

d = (0.12 m)(45)

d = 5.4 m

So, the work done will be:

W = F d

W = (2.4 N)(5.4 m)
