What are isotopes.....

1 answer:

6 0

The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses. Mass is the word for how much substance (or matter) something has.

Isotopes are atom families that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons

Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

If the distance between two objects is decreased to - of the original

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new force will be \frac{1}{100} of the original force.

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we're dealing with the law of gravitational attraction. The law states that the gravitational force between two object is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of a distance between them.

That said, let's say that our equation for the initial force is:

$F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^2}The problem states that the distance decrease to 1/10 of the original distance, this means:[tex]R_2 = \frac{1}{10}R$
