Use the following terms in the same sentence: proton,neutron,and isotope

1 answer:

3 0

An isotope is one of 2+ types of the same element, which will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. This means that the relative atomic mass may be different among isotopes, but the chemical properties will remain the same. Isotopes are usually found in radioactive forms of an element.

Answer:

Part a)

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

Explanation:

As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same

So we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 + m_3v_3 = 0$

$(5 \times 10^{-27})(6 \times 10^6\hat j) + (8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6\hat i) + (3.6 \times 10^{-27}) v = 0$

$(30\hat j + 33.6\hat i)\times 10^6 + 3.6 v = 0$

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

By equation of kinetic energy we have

$E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_3v_3^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(5 \times 10^{-27})(6\times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(3.6 \times 10^{-27})(8.33^2 + 9.33^2) \times 10^{12}$

$E = 9\times 10^{-14} + 6.72 \times 10^{-14} + 2.82\times 10^{-13}$

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

When U-235 splits, it usually emits

Serga [27]

Splitting atoms. 'Fission' is another word for splitting. The process of splitting a nucleus is called nuclear fission. ... For fission to happen, the uranium-235 or plutonium-239 nucleus must first absorb a neutron.

Question: Is a flame matter? . Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.

0. 85 kg of lead, specific heat 128 J/kgC, is heated from 50 C to 95 C. How much heat energy did the sample absorb?

Zanzabum

4896

0.85 x 45 x 128 = 4896

Change in energy = specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature

patriot [66]

Answer:

7.82 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 300 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(300 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 7.82 s
