' D ' is the only correct statement on the list.

Electromagnetic waves are capable of traveling through

many substances, and they're also capable of traveling

through vacuum. Mechanical waves can't travel in vacuum.

A helium nucleus is composed of two protons (positively charged) and two neutrons (charge neutral). The distance between the two

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Using the given values

F = K q^2 / r^2 = 9 * 10E9 * (1.6 * E-19)^2 / (5.18 * E-15)^2 N

E = 9 * 1.6^2 / 5.18^2 * 10 = 8.5 N

The diameter of a copper atom is approximately 2.28e-10 m. The massof one mole of copper is 64 grams. Assume that the atoms area

KIM [24]

1) Mass of one copper atom: $1.063\cdot 10^{-22} kg$

2) There are $9.33\cdot 10^{24}$ atoms in the cube

3) Mass of the cubical block: 992 kg

Explanation:

We are told here that the mass of one mole of copper is

$M=64 g$

for

$n=1 mol$ (number of moles)

We also know that the number of atoms inside 1 mole of substance is equal to Avogadro number:

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}$

This means that $N_A$ atoms of copper have a mass of M = 64 g. Therefore, we can find the mass of one copper atom by dividing the total mass by the avogadro number:

$m=\frac{M}{N_A}=\frac{64}{6.022\cdot 10^{23}}=1.063\cdot 10^{-22} kg$

We are told that the diameter of a copper atom is

$d=2.28\cdot 10^{-10} m$

We can assume that the atoms are arranged in a cube, and that they are all attached to each other; so the side of the cube can be written as size of one atom multiplied by the number of atom per side:

$L=Nd$
