Answer:

Is the mass number

Explanation:

Every atom is usually identified by using two different numbers:

- Atomic number: generally labelled with Z, corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus, so Z = p

- Mass number: generally labelled with A, corresponds to the number of protons+neutrons in the nucleus, so A = p + n

To find the number of neutrons in a nucleus, therefore, we can do

n = A - Z

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, $Vi$ and $Ui$ are its initial vertical and horizontal components

$R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s$

To find:

Max Height $h$ achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the $3^{rd}$ equation of motion, we know

$2*a*s = Vf^{2} - Vi^{2}$

2) In terms of gravity $g$ height $h$ and the vertical component of Velocity $Vf , Vi$ .

3) As $Vf = 0$ as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

$2*g*h = Vf^{2} -Vi^{2}$

putting values

4) $h = 0.784 m/s$

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

Ice of mass 5 g at 0 °C melts to water at 0 °C.

amid [387]

Answer:

Q=1670J

Explanation:

Mass of ice: m=5g=0.005kg

Latent heat: lambda=3.34×10⁵J/kg

Heat received by ice: Q=m×lambda

Q=0.005×3.34×10⁵=5×334=1670J

A uniformly charged sphere has a total charge of 300uc and a radius of 8cm. Find the electric field density at A point 16cm from

s2008m [1.1K]

E = kQ 

(r + h)²

where,

k = 9 × 10^9Nm²C^-2

Q = total charge, 300uC = 300 × 10^ -6C

r = 8 × 10^ -2m

h = 16 × 10^ -2m

then,

E = 9e9 * 300e^-6 

(8e^-2 + 16e^-2)²

E = 4687500N/C

What type of energy transfer occurs through light or electromagnetic waves?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.
