Answer:

B) protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom and represent most of the 'mass' of the atom, that's their count that determine the 'mass' of an atom (like 12 for Carbon).

The electrons rotate around the nucleus and have a negligible mass.

"As you sit in a fishing boat, you notice that 12 waves pass the boat every 45 s. If the distance from one crest to the next is
Alchen [17]

Answer:

2.4564 m/s

Explanation:

Number of waves in 1 second

\dfrac{12}{45}=0.267\ Hz

This is the frequency 0.267 Hz

The distance mentioned in the question is the

\lambda = Wavelength = 9.2 m

The speed of wave is

v=f\lambda

\Rightarrow v=0.267\times 9.2

\Rightarrow v=2.4564\ m/s

The speed of the wave is 2.4564 m/s

When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho
Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso
nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of a planet, R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}

g=2.91\ m/s^2

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
