Is the number of protons and electrons the same for a neutral atom of a given element?

Physics

Yes, that's why the atom is neutral.  A proton carries a positive charge,
and an electron carries a negative charge.  When their numbers are
equal, the atom has no 'net' charge, and it's a 'neutral' atom.

A 200 g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.40 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the energy stored in a spring in relation to conservation of energy

Given data

Mass of block m =200g

To kg= 200/1000= 0.2kg

Spring constant k = 1.4kN/m

=1400N/m

Compression x= 10cm

In meter x=10/100 = 0.1m

Using energy considerations or energy conservation principles

The potential energy stored in the spring equals the kinetic energy with which the block move away from the spring

Potential Energy stored in spring

P.E=1/2kx^2

Kinetic energy of the block

K.E =1/mv^2

Where v = velocity of the block

K.E=P.E (energy consideration)

1/2kx^2=1/mv^2

Kx^2= mv^2

Solving for v we have

v^2= (kx^2)/m

v^2= (1400*0.1^2)/0.2

v^2= (14)/0.2

v^2= 70

v= √70

v= 8.36m/s

a. Distance moved if the ramp exerts no force on the block

Is

S= v^2/2gsinθ

Assuming g= 9. 81m/s^2

S= (8.36)^2/2*9.81*sin60

S= 69.88/19.62*0.866

S= 69.88/16.99

S= 4.11m

To heat the house, the boiler transfers 15 MJ of energy in 10 minutes.
Harrizon [31]

The formula is P = E/t, where P means power in watts, E means energy j , and t means time in seconds. This formula states that power is the consumption of energy per unit of time.

P = 15 M / 10*60

M = mega = 10⁶

15 *10⁶ / 600

= 25000 watt
