How many neutrons are in an arsenic atom? I belive there are 42, but better safe than sorry!

Arsenic is Element Number 33 ... it has 33 protons in its nucleus.

You're correct that the stable isotope of the atom is the one with
42 neutrons, for a total Atomic Weight of 75.

Atoms of Arsenic also exist with 41 neutrons and 40 neutrons
in their nucleus, but those are unstable.

The nucleus with 41 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 74) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 80 days.

The nucleus with 40 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 73) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 18 days.

Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?
Bad White [126]
The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

The decimal equivalent for meter is
USPshnik [31]

m =dm ______ 10.000

Meters

The metre is a unit of length in the metric system, and is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

As the base unit of length in the SI and other m.k.s. systems (based around metres, kilograms and seconds) the metres is used to help derive other units of measurement such as the newton, for force.

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.

Two identical asteroids travel side by side while touching one another. If the asteroids are composed of homogeneous pure iron a
victus00 [196]

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

  1. F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where:

  • F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
  • M => Mass of asteroid 1
  • m => Mass of asteroid 2
  • R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

  • M=m

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

  • R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

  • m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

  • \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

  • F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }
  • F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2}  }{36}

Now let´s plug in the values we know:

  1. F = 1 lb     mutual gravitational attraction force
  2. G = 6.67(10)^{-11}     gravitational constant
  3. ρ_{iron} =491.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} }

  • 1= \frac{6.67(10)^{-11} \pi ^{2} r^{4} (491.5)^{2}}{36}

Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter

  • d=2\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{7.07(10)^{-5} } }

Result is d = 21.81 Feet
