An element's atomic number is the

Zepler [3.9K]

the atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

Hope this helped

A 22.0 kg child slides down a slide that makes a 37.0° angle with the horizontal. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force

patriot [66]

Answer:

(a) 172.185 N

(b) $53^{\circ}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the child, m = 22.0 kg

Angle, $\theta = 37.0^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slide on the child:

$F_{N} = mgcos\theta$

$F_{N} = 22\times 9.8cos37^{\circ} = 172.185\ N$

Now,

(b) The angle from the horizontal at which the force is directed is:

$90^{\circ} - 37^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}$

A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 110,000 kg of scrap metal in

erica [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a freight car, $m_1=30,000-kg$

Speed of a freight car, $u_1=0.85\ m/s$

Mass of a scrap metal, $m_2=110,000\ kg$

(a) Let us assume that the final velocity of the loaded freight car is V. The momentum of the system will remain conserved as follows :

$30000\times 0.85=(30000+110000)V\\\\V=\dfrac{30000\times 0.85}{30000+110000}\\\\=0.182\ m/s$

So, the final velocity of the loaded freight car is 0.182 m/s.

(b) Lost on kinetic energy = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

$\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}[(m_1+m_2)V^2-m_1u_1^2)]\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [(30,000+110,000 )0.182^2-30000(0.85)^2]\\\\=-8518.82\ J$

Lost in kinetic energy is 8518.82. Negative sign shows loss.
