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

Physics

ss7ja [257]3 years ago

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.

If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from our galaxy), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substa
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The statement makes sense since it's already explained that the galaxy is moving away from us and unlike option C which depicts that the galaxy is moving to us.

This statement makes sense. The redshift means that we see the galaxy moving away from us, so observers in that galaxy must also see us moving away from them—which means they see us redshifted as well

Each corner of a right-angled triangle is occupied by identical point charges "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Draw a sketch of t
NISA [10]

Answer:

Fnet = F√2

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

Explanation:

A exerts a force F on B, and C exerts an equal force F on B perpendicular to that.  The net force can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

Fnet = √(F² + F²)

Fnet = F√2

The force between two charges particles is:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

where

k is Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.

If we say the charge of each particle is q, then:

F = kq²/r²

Substituting:

Fnet = kq²/r² √2

The statements below are all true. Some of them represent important reasons why the giant impact hypothesis for the Moon’s forma
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

Is it accurate to say that galaxies take up most of the volume of space? Why or why not?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

ntergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.

Explanation:

so to be exact galixes do make up most of the volume of space because galaxies are what make up space!
