The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

Physics
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0

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

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/
madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

A basketball has a mass of 567 g. Heading straight downward, in the direction, it hits the floor with a speed of 2 m/s and rebou
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

Explanation:

The momentum change is defined as:

\Delta p=p_f-p_i\\\Delta p=mv_f-mv_i\\\Delta p=m(v_f-v_i)(1)

Taking the downward motion as negative and the upward motion as positive, we have:

v_f=2\frac{m}{s}(2)\\v_i=-2\frac{m}{s}(3)

Replacing (2) and (3) in (1):

\Delta p=567*10^{-3}kg(2\frac{m}{s}-(-2\frac{m}{s}))\\\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

Which planet weighs twice as much as all other planets.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Jupiter. Although it is a gas planet, it has a ton of mass. Mass can determine the weight of an object. We can thereby assume that Jupiter weighs way more than most planets.

The distance a spring stretches varies directly as the amount of weight that is hanging on it. A weight of 2.5 pounds stretches
julsineya [31]
We use the equation y = kx
y = 18, x = 2.5

18 = k2.5
k = 7.2

x = 6.4
y = 7.2*6.4
y = 46.08

hope this help
