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 .

NASA developed a reflective foil barrier to help shield spacecraft from heat transfer in space. These reflective barriers are no
morpeh [17]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation: Radiation is the energy that comes from a source in form of electromagnetic waves, subatomic particles, light, or heat which travels through space.

Examples of radiation include the light, heat, and particles emitted from the Sun.

Using a foil barrier to prevent heat transfer is possible because foil has a silver color, and silver reflects light and heat instead of absorbing them. This is the opposite of black surfaces that absorb heat.

So in homes where these foil reflective barriers are used, the transfer of heat through Radiation is highly reduced.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho
lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

1. If 800 C of electric charge passed through a light bulb in 4 min; what is the mag
9966 [12]

The electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Electric charge, q = 800C

Time, t = 4 min

           = 4 X 60 sec

           = 240 sec

Electric current, I = ?

We know,

Current  = \frac{Charge}{Time}

On substituting the value we get:

I = \frac{800}{4 X 60} \\\\I = 3.3A

Thus, the electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>

A potential energy function is given by u(x)=(3.00n)xâ(1.00n/m2)x3. at what position or positions is the force equal to zero?
qwelly [4]

I believe the correct form of the energy function is:

u (x) = (3.00 N) x + (1.00 N / m^2) x^3

or in simpler terms without the units:

u (x) = 3 x + x^3

Since the highest degree is power of 3, therefore there are two roots or solutions of the equation.

 

Since we are to find for the positions x in which the force equal to zero, u (x) = 0, therefore:

3 x + x^3 = u (x)

3 x + x^3 = 0

Taking out x:

x (3 + x^2) = 0

So one of the factors is x = 0.

 

Finding for the other two factors, we divide the two sides by x and giving us:

x^2 + 3 = 0

x^2 = - 3

x = sqrt (- 3)

x = - 1.732 i, 1.732 i

 

The other two roots are imaginary therefore the force is only equal to zero when the position is also zero.

 

Answer:

x = 0
