The atomic number is the number of protons. If the atomic number is 30, then the atom will have 30 protons.

Hi ;)
First of all, The number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.Since we have 30 protons and 30 electrons ,the positive charge on the proton is cancelled by the negative charge on the electron leaving a neutral atom.

Positive 30 and negative 30 equals 0.

Therefore , that atom would have 30 protons .

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.46 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 9.88 m/s. The roof mak

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

The horizontal speed
the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

$v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s$

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

$x(t)=8.8 m/s *t$

$y(t)=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}$

Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor

$17.1m=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}\\t=1.47s$ or $t=-2.38s$

Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled

$x(1.47s)=8.8m/s*1.47s=12.94m$

A 4.33 kg cat has 41.7 J of KE How fast is the cat moving?

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

mass = 4.33 kg

E = 41.7 J

v = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2)mv²

Clear v from the equation

v = √2ke/m

Substitution

v = √2(41.7)/4.33

v = 19.26 m/s Result

A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator $=heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec$
