What is the atomic mass of an element?

Physics
1 answer:
Alina [70]3 years ago
5 0

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, particle, or molecule. The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons (as seen by the atomic number) and 8 neutrons which gives oxygen an atomic mass of 16.

The New Horizons probe flew past Pluto in July 2015. At the time, Pluto was about 32 AU from Earth. How long did it take for com
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

15944.6 sec

Explanation:

d = distance of Pluto from earth = 32 AU = 32 x 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

v = speed of light = 1.08 x 10⁹ km/hr = ( 1.08 x 10⁹) (0.278) m/s

t = time taken for the communication to reach from probe to earth = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

32 x 1.496 x 10¹¹ = (( 1.08 x 10⁹) (0.278)) t

t = 15944.6 sec

t = 1.6 x 10⁴ sec

In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, \theta=20.0°

Mass of package is, m=2.50\ kg

Initial speed of package is, u=2.00\ m/s

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, v=0\ m/s

Distance of travel along the incline is, d=12.0\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be \mu.

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)

Solving for 'a', we get:

-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6} ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for \mu. This gives,

9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 V. It is used to charge two storage batt
Natali [406]

Complete Question

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 \Omega. It is used to charge two storage batteries connected in series, each having an emf of 6.00 V and internal resistance of 0.300\Omega . If the charging current is to be 4.00 A, (a) what additional resistance should be added in series? At what rate does the internal energy increase in (b) the supply, (c) in the batteries, and (d) in the added series resistance? (e) At what rate does the chemical energy increase in the batteries?

Answer:

a

The additional resistance is R_z =  4.4 \Omega

b

The rate at which internal energy increase at the supply is Z_1 = 32 W

c

The rate at which internal energy increase in the battery  is  Z_1 = 32 W

d

The rate at which internal energy increase in the added series resistance is  Z_3 = 70.4 W

e

the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is C =  48 W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  open circuit voltage is  V =  40.0V

     The internal resistance is R = 2 \Omega

     The emf of each battery is e =  6.00 V

      The internal resistance of the battery is  r = 0.300V

      The  charging current is  I = 4.00 \ A

Let assume the the additional resistance to to added to the circuit is  R_z

 So this implies that

        The total resistance in the circuit is

                              R_T =  R + 2r +R_z

Substituting values

                             R_T = 2.6 +R_z

And  the difference in potential in the circuit is  

                         E = V -2e

                 =>   E =  40 - (2 * 6)

                        E =  28 V

Now according to ohm's law

            I = \frac{E}{R_T}

Substituting values

           4 = \frac{28}{R_z + 2.6}        

Making R_z the subject of the formula

So    R_z =  \frac{28 - 10.4}{4}

           R_z =  4.4 \Omega

The  increase rate of   internal energy at the supply is mathematically represented as

        Z_1  = I^2 R

Substituting values

     Z_1  = 4^2 * 2

     Z_1 = 32 W

The  increase rate of   internal energy at the batteries  is mathematically represented as

         Z_2 = I^2 r

Substituting values

         Z_2 = 4^2 * 2 * 0.3

         Z_2 = 9.6 \ W

The  increase rate of  internal energy at the added  series resistance  is mathematically represented as

        Z_3 = I^2 R_z

Substituting values

       Z_3 = 4^2 * 4.4

      Z_3 = 70.4 W

Generally the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is  mathematically represented as

         C = 2 * e * I

Substituting values

       C =  2 * 6  * 4

      C =  48 W
