If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

The current in a coil with a self-inductance of 1 mH is 2.8 A at t = 0, when the coil is shorted through a resistor. The total r
pogonyaev

Given:

L = 1 mH = 1\times 10^{-3} H

total Resistance, R = 11 \Omega

current at t = 0 s,

I_{o} = 2.8 A

Formula used:

I = I_{o}\times e^-{\frac{R}{L}t}

Solution:

Using the given formula:

current after t = 0.5 ms = 0.5\times 10^{-3} s

for the inductive circuit:

I = 2.8\times e^-{\frac{11}{1\times 10^{-3}}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}

I =   2.8\times e^-5.5

I =0.011 A

Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3

Explanation:

In a nuclear power plant, we have;

1) Nuclear reaction between the radio active species and the particles takes place to generate energy in the nucleus of atoms

2) The nuclear energy in the atom is converted into radiant energy, which is the energy found in light, and thermal (heat) energy

3) The produced radiant and thermal energy is released as heat and light

4) With the produced heat, steam is generated

5) The generated steam turns the steam turbines and produced mechanical energy

6) The produced mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator of the power plant

To correct Savion's error, Step 4) the light and heat should be released before step 3) the released heat can be used to generate steam, we therefore reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football
Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the football

\Delta t=0.25 s is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial  velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we  find the force exerted on the ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N
