What is the atomic mass of an element?

1 answer:

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.

Three equal charge 1.8*10^-8 each are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle ABC side 10cm.calculate the electric pote

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of $1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C$ each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment $\rm AB$ would be approximately $8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V$ .

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: $10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m$ .

Distance between the midpoint of $\rm AB$ and each of the three charges:

$d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)$ .

Let $k$ denote Coulomb's constant ( $k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}$ .)

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm B$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}$ .

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of $\rm AB$ due to all these three charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of

wolverine [178]

<h2>Answer: protons and neutrons. </h2>

The atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of protons and neutrons.

The nucleus of an atom has very small dimensions. However, it <u>occupies its central part and concentrates more than 99% of its total mass. </u>

It is in the nucleus that the protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge) are found.
