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

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J
