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

1 answer:

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.

1. During the Middle Ages, armies often attacked castles using large siege engines such as the counterweight trebuchet at left.

Answer: Some challenges that I could see would be the walls, possibly a moat, tar, and the towers.

Explanation: The wall is obliviously a main problem, trying to get over it or through it is a difficult challenge. The moat (if it has one) means that there is more than likely only one way to get in or out. If it does have tar it means that the attackers are going to be put in a "sticky situation" And finally the towers, they have people at the top shooting arrows down at you, or throwing things at you.

Two astronauts push on a satellite. One pushes in the positive x direction with a force of 42 N, and the other pushes in the pos

inessss [21]

The vectors adition we can find the magnitude of the force applied by the other astronaut is 11.25 N in the y direction

Parameters given

Force of an astronaut Fₓ = 42 N

Angle θ = 15º

To find

Force another astronaut

The force is a vector magnitude for which the addition of vectors must be used, a very efficient method to perform this sum is to add the components of each vector and devise constructing the resulting vector using trigonometry and the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's use trigonometry to find the other force

tan θ = $\frac{F_y}{F_x}$
