D is the answer by the looks of it sry if wrong

'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 harmonic wave on a string with a mass per unit length of 0.050 kg/m and a tension of 60 N has an amplitude of 5.0 cm. Each sec
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Power of the string wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass per unit length is 0.050 kg/m

Tension in the string T = 60 N

Amplitude of the wave A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency f = 8 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 8=50.24rad/sec

Velocity of the string wave is equal to v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}=\sqrt{\frac{60}{0.050}}=34.641m/sec

Power of wave propagation is equal to P=\frac{1}{2}\mu \omega ^2vA^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.050\times 50.24^2\times 34.641\times 0.05^2=5.464watt

So power of the wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

A trumpet creates a sound wave that has a wave speed of 350m/s and a wavelength of 0.8 m . What is the frequency of the sound wa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Explanation:

Given

the speed of sound wave = 350 ms^{-1}

the wavelength of sound wave = 0.8 m

the frequency of sound wave = ?

All the waves have same relationship among wavelength, frequency and speed, which is given by the equation:

v = fλ, where

v is speed of the wave

f is frequency of the wave

λ is wavelength of the wave

therefore frequency of sound wave is given by

f = v/λ

 = 350ms^{-1}/0.8m

 = 437.5s^{-1}

 = 437.5Hz (since 1 s^{-1} = 1 Hz (Hertz)

Hence the frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

A reconnaissance plane flies 605 km away from
kolezko [41]

Answer:

                      v_{avg}  = 355 m/s  

Explanation:

Distance = 605 km

Initial speed = v_{i} = 284 m/s

Final velocity = v_{f} = 426 m/s

Average speed = ?

There is two method two find average speed. In first method, using 3rd equation of motion, we find acceleration.

                        2as = v_{f}^{2}+v_{i}^{2}

Then using first equation of motion, we find time

                        v_{f} = v_{i}+at

Then using the formula of average velocity, we find average velocity

                         v_{avg}=\frac{total-distance}{total-time}

Second method is very simple

                                  v_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}+v_{i} }{2}

                                   v_{avg}=\frac{426+284}{2}

                                   v_{avg}  = 355 m/s
