Answer: Subtract the number of valence electrons(outer most shell electrons) from the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation: The total number of electrons for an atom equals to its atomic number. Electrons are present in different shells. Electrons present in outer most shell(valence shell) are known as valence electrons and rest of the electrons present in inner shells are known as core electrons.

So, to determine the number of electrons we subtract the valence electrons from atomic number.

For example, atomic number of N (nitrogen) is 7. It has 5 valence electrons.

Number of core electrons for N = 7 - 5 = 2

Alex dragged a log across the yard in 30 the log weighted 400n she did 900 j of work how much power did I she have
In-s [12.5K]

The power used by Alex to drag the log across the yard is determined as 2,656 W.

<h3>Mass of the log</h3>

The mass of the log is calculated as follows;

W = mg

m = W/g

m = (400)/9.8

m = 40.82 kg

<h3>Velocity of the log</h3>

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 900)/(40.82)

v² = 44.096

v = 6.64 m/s

<h3>Power used by Alex</h3>

P = Fv

P = 400 x 6.64

P = 2,656 W
