Carbon(6 protons) + 2 protons = 8 protons

<u>Oxygen</u> = element with 8 protons
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the total number of all the protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, a carbon atom has atomic number 6 and it has 6 neutrons.

Atomic number also means the total number of protons present in an atom.

Hence, atomic mass of this carbon atom will be (6 protons + 6 neutrons) = 12.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom then atomic mass of this carbon atom will be as follows.

               Atomic mass = [(6 + 2) protons + (2 + 6) neutrons]

                                      = 16

As it is known that oxygen is the element that has atomic mass 16 and atomic number 8.

Therefore, we can conclude that the nucleus of given carbon atoms has converted into the nucleus of oxygen atom.

Number of conducting plates of a multiplate capacitor is 5. The no. Of capacitors is
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 capacitors

Explanation:

Given

n = 5 --- conducting plates

Required

The number of capacitor (c)

This is calculated as:

c = n - 1

So, we have:

c = 5 - 1

c = 4

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}    ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}

N = 1.35 x 10⁵

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2
