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.

Simple reaction time involves selecting a specific and correct response from several choices when presented with several different stimuli. This is very important because historically, this was the first indicators of intelligence pioneered by Francis Galton. To measure one’s intelligence is to know how he quick a person could respond to the stimulus with an already expected response wherein the stimulus is given unknown to the receiver. In other terms, the intelligence is measured on how quick a person could grasp certain concepts and how he could think fast and answer them correctly. <span> </span>

The FM radio band in most places goes from frequencies of about 89 MHz to 106 MHz. How long is the wavelength of the radiation a

ohaa [14]

Answer:

2.83 m

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$f$ is the frequency

For the FM radio waves in this problem, we have:

$f_1=89 MHz=89\cdot 10^6 Hz$ is the minimum frequency, so the maximum wavelength is

$\lambda_2=\frac{c}{f_1}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{89\cdot 10^6}=3.37 m$

The maximum frequency is instead

$f_2=106 MHz=106\cdot 10^6 Hz$

Therefore, the minimum wavelength is

$\lambda_1=\frac{c}{f_2}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{106\cdot 10^6}=2.83 m$

So, the wavelength at the beginning of the range is 2.83 m.

This particle would have to have at least how many protons in order to have a positive charge?

jasenka [17]

Answer: You don't do work.

Explanation: If you don't do the work you don't have to ask this question. With work comes labor. With labor comes change. With change comes resistance and people do not like change. IT causes anger, so if you stop doing work and stick to the important supply like food, water, and shelter you don't have to go through the trouble of this and we can live in a peaceful environment for this world to be better than it is. People do to much, it's a natural fact but you can change the entire picture. If you read all of this thank you for accepting the fact of life.

Question 4 - If Angelica starts out at 30m/s, and in 16 s speeds up to 84 m/s, what is her acceleration?

Triss [41]

Answer:

C. $3.375 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found using the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

In this problem:

u = 30 m/s is the initial velocity of Angelica

v = 84 m/s is the final velocity

t is the time

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{84-30}{16}=3.375 m/s^2$
