Answer:
B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons
Explanation:
The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.
The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.
If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.
In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.
The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.
Answer:
q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg
Explanation:
Given:
Initial State:
P_i = 550 KPa
T_i = 400 K
Final State:
T_f = 350 K
Constants:
R = 0.189 KJ/kgK
k = 1.289 = c_p / c_v
n = 1.2 (poly-tropic index)
Find:
Determine the heat transfer per kg in the process.
Solution:
-The heat transfer per kg of poly-tropic process is given by the expression:
q_poly = w_poly*(k - n)/(k-1)
- Evaluate w_poly:
w_poly = R*(T_f - T_i)/(1-n)
w_poly = 0.189*(350 - 400)/(1-1.2)
w_poly = 47.25 KJ/kg
-Hence,
q_poly = 47.25*(1.289 - 1.2)/(1.289-1)
q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg
The answer for the following problem is explained below.
Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 
C.
Explanation:
Given:
radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 ×
m
height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 × m
total charge (q) =6.1×
C
To solve:
volume charge density (ρ)
We know;
<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>
volume of cylinder = π ×r × r × h
volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 ×
× 8.8 ×
volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 ×
<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>
ρ = 6.1× ÷ 122.23 ×
<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u><u> C</u>
Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × C.
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
I = Current = 3.7 A
e = Charge of electron = 
n = Conduction electron density in copper = 
= Drift velocity of electrons
r = Radius = 1.23 mm
Current is given by
The drift speed of the electrons is
From the equation we can see the following
So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.
Taking into account the definition of Scientific notation, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.
<h3>Definition of scientific notation</h3>
Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base 10.
The numbers are written as a product:
a×10ⁿ
where:
- a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
- n is a whole number, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the point decimal is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
<h3>This case</h3>
In this case, to write the number 5,970,000 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:
- The decimal point is moved to the left as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit. This number will be the value of a in the previous expression. Then a = 5.97
- The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the decimal point moves. This is a positive number because the decimal point is shifted to the left, and it will have a value of n = 6.
Finally, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.
