'D' would do the job ... When you subtract the protons from the mass,
what you have left is neutrons.  (The electrons can be ignored.  It takes
around 1840 electrons ! to add the mass of a single proton or neutron !)

I don't know it for a fact, but I'd be surprised if the process is really that
simple.  I mean, it starts out with knowing the atomic mass, and then
knowing the number of protons in the nucleus.  Each of those is a
whole complex problem in itself.

A suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can one conclude that A is charged? Explain
irinina [24]

Explanation:

In my view, when the Object A is attracted to a Charged object B. Object B should be Negatively or Positively charged. So Object B should be the Opposite charged according to the Object B

Example =

If Object B is Negatively Charged, the Object A should be Positively Charged

If the Object B is Positively Charged, the Object A should be Negatively Charged

Sometimes it can Mix as a Neutral as well

Hope this Helps

An electron (q=-1.602×10-19C) is placed .03m away from spherical object with a net charge of -7.2 C.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

electric field at the location of electron

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03²

= 72 x 10¹² N/C

force on electron = electric field x charge on electron

= 72 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 115.2 x 10⁻⁷ N .

C )

work done = charge on electron x potential difference at two points

potential at .03 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03

= 2.16 x 10¹² V

potential at .001 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .001

= 64.8 x 10¹² V

potential difference = (64.8 - 2.16 )x 10¹² V

= 62.64 x 10¹² V  .

work done = 62.64 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 100.224 x 10⁻⁷ J .

D )

There will be no change in the magnitude of force on positron except that the direction of force will be reversed . In case of electron , there will be repulsion and in case of positron , there will be attraction .

Work done in case of electron will be positive and work done in case of positron will be negative .

electric field due to charge will be same in both the cases .
