Answer:

20 neutrons

Explanation:

This will get you the mass number of the most abundant potassium isotope. You now know that the most abundant isotope of potassium contains 20 neutrons. All isotopes of potassium will have the same number of protons inside their nucleus, i.e. 19 protons.

I hope this helps you.

A dog sits 2.6 m from the center of a merry- go-round. a) If the dog undergoes a 1.7 m/s^2 centripetal acceleration, what is the

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

a) v= 2.1 m/s

b) ω = 0.807 rad/s

Explanation

Conceptual analysis :

The dog and the merry-go- round describes a circular motion, then, the following formulas apply :

$a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ Formula (1)

v = ω *r Formula (2)

Where:

$a_{c}$ : Centripetal acceleration(m/s²)

v: linear speed or tangential (m/s)

r : radius of the circle (m)

ω : angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

r= 2.6 m

$a_{c}$ = 1.7 m/s²

Problem develpment

a) We replace data in the formula 1 to calculate the dog's linear speed(v):

$a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

$1.7 =\frac{v^{2} }{2.6}$

$v^{2} =1.7*2.6 = 4.42$

$v=(\sqrt{4.42})\frac{m}{s}$

v= 2.1 m/s

b)We replace data in the formula 2 to calculate the angular speed of the merry-go- round (ω).

v = ω *r

2.1 = ω *2.6

ω = 2.1/2.6

ω = 0.807 rad/s

beks73 [17]

Answer:

raise the board to a higher angle

Explanation:

Static friction is the force opposite to the applied force.

Static friction is dependent on the angle of inclination, it means as the angle of incline increases, the force of friction will increases as normal force will decrease.

So, if the board will be raised to a higher angle, it will increase the angle of incline and will overcome the static friction and block will be able slide.

Hence, the correct option is "raise the board to a higher angle".

A hydrogen atom that has an electron in the n = 2 state absorbs a photon. What wavelength must the photon possess to send the el

Deffense [45]

Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

$\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\$
