Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

Physics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
3 0

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

 t = 1030 s

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the resistance of the coil,

    V = I (R + ri)

    R = V / I - ri

    R = 10/10 -0.03

    R = 0.97  Ω

Now we can calculate the power supplied to the water

   P = I2 R

   P = 10 2 0.97

   P = 97 w

Work energy is power for time

   E = W = P t

   t = W / P

   t = 100 103/97

   t = 1030 s

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

From the equation describing the Electric field strength of a charge

E=F/q

We can deduce that the electric field strength is dependent on the force arcing on the magnitude of the charge.

As the force increases the the electric field increases, also the electric field strength decreases with increasing charge.

Hence the distance has no effect on the electric field strength. The magnitude remain as E

What are the characteristics of Parallel circuit??<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through.

Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.

The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.
