Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

Atom X contains seven protons and seven neutrons. atom Z contains seven protons and eight neutrons. which of the following state
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.            

The mass number is given by:              

A = p + n

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14

A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15

Hence, they have a different mass number.  

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is ^{14}_{7}N and the second isotope is ^{15}_{7}N. Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).  

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!

Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a
AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

The magnitude of the force associated with the gravitational field is constant and has a value FF . A particle is launched from
uysha [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀

Explanation:

Given that,

A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.

Constant force = 12F

According to question,

The kinetic energy is

U_{0}=Fx....(I)

Constant force = 12F

A resistive force field is now set up ,

Resistive force is given by,

F_{r}=12F

When the particle moves from point B to point A then,

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula for kinetic energy

U=F_{r}x

Put the value of F_{r}

U=12Fx

Now, from equation (I)

U=12U_{0}

Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.
