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

Answer:

a) By $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$ => a= 70291.70.

(b)By $v = u + at$ => t= 1.58 ms.

(c)By $v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$ => H = 46045.92 m.

Explanation:

a) By $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

$(950)^2 = 0 + 2 \times a \times 0.75\\a = 601666.67 m/s^2\\a/g = 688858.70/9.8 = 70291.70$

(b)By $v = u + at$

$950 = 0 + 601666.67 \times t\\t = 1.58 x 10^-3 sec = 1.58 ms$

(c)By $v^2 = u^2 - 2gh$

$0 = (950)^2 - 2 \times9.8 \times H\\H = 46045.92 m$

The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 x 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the

Inga [223]

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

$r$ = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = $3.85\times10^{8} m$

$M$ = Mass of earth = $5.98\times10^{24} m$

$T$ = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3} }{GM}$

inserting the values, we get

$T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3} }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec$

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

$T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days$

1 month = 30 days

$T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month$

The gravitational self potential energy of a solid ball of mass density ρ and radius R is E. What is the gravitational self pote

Alenkasestr [34]

It will be
E = mgh.
where h and g are constant thus
m can be written as 4/3πr^3*density
E = 4/3πr^3* density
E? = 4/3π(2R)^3* density
= 4/3π8r^3
thus the e will be 4/3π8r^3* density/4/3πr^3*density nd thus you get 8E ..
