For atoms in the periodic table, the given mass number is the sum of the number of the protons (also called the atomic number) and the number of the neutrons inside its nucleus. Mathematically,
                              mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
Substituting,
                               39 = 19  + n
                                    n = 39 - 19 = 20
Therefore, the answer is not found in the choices.

Answer:

N = 20

Explanation:

As we know that mass number is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in the atom

So we will have

mass number A = 39

number of protons in the given atom (Z) = 19

so we will have

A = Z + N

39 = 19 + N

N = 20

hammer [34]

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.

A 1100 kg sports car accelerates from 0m/s to 32m/s in 10 seconds. What is the average power of the engine?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the sports car, m = 1100 kg

initial velocity of the sports car, u = 0 m/s

final velocity of the sports car, v = 32 m/s

time of motion, t = 10 s

The kinetic energy of the car is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 1100 x 32²

K.E = 563200 J

The average power of the engine of the sports car is given by;

Pavg = Energy / time

Pavg = 563200 / 10

Pavg = 56320 W

Pavg = 56.32 kW

Therefore, the average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW

The magnetic field a distance 2 cm from a long straight current-carrying wire is 2 × 10–5 t. the current in the wire is:
Sliva [168]

Current in the wire = 2 A

Explanation:

the magnetic field is given by

B= \frac{\mu i}{2\pi r}

μo= 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A

i= current

r=0.02 m

B = magnetic field= 2 x 10⁻⁵ T

2 x 10⁻⁵= (4π x 10⁻⁷)(i) / (2π*0.02)

i=2 A

Suppose that two Scientists use different measurement systems in their work. What problems might arise if they shared their data
alexandr402 [8]

In order to understand the results of another scientist's work, any scientist
who reads the report MUST understand the measurement system in which
the result is described.  Otherwise the result is meaningless to him.
