If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?

Physics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
6 0

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)

In a circuit, the electromotive force can be said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can be slowed down or restricted by a resistor, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric power.

Explanation:

The electromotive force is the potential difference produced by the battery in the circuit. When the circuit is connected to the battery, this potential difference causes the electron to start moving towards the point at higher potential: in this sense, the electromotive force is said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons".

This flow of electrons moving in the circuit is known as current.

Then, in the circuit, it is possible to place a piece of circuit with a smaller cross-section that restricts the flow of electrons: this component is known as resistor, and its property of restricting the flow of electron is known as resistance.

In a circuit, electromotive force (V), current (I) and resistance (R) are related by Ohm's law:

V=RI

Finally, when a current passes through a resistor, part of the electric energy is converted into thermal energy, and some power is dissipated through the resistor. The power dissipated is given by

P=I^2 R

This power can be harnessed, for instance, if the resistor is connected to a light bulb: the energy is transformed into heat and light, and so the light bulb turns on, providing illumination.

alexdok [17]

Actual displacement that he required to move

d_1 = 5.4 km towards North

Displacement that he moved due to snow is

d_2 = 8.1 km at 47 degree North of East

now in vector component form we can say

d_1 = 5.4 \hat j

d_2 = 8.1 cos47 \hat i + 8.1 sin47 \hat j

d_2 = 5.52 \hat i + 5.92 \hat j

now the displacement that is more required to reach the destination is given as

d = d_1 - d_2

d = 5.4\hat j - (5.52 \hat i + 5.92\hat j)

d = -5.52 \hat i - 0.52 \hat j

so the magnitude of the displacement is given as

d = \sqrt{5.52^2 + 0.52^2}

d = 5.54 km

its direction is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{0.52}{5.52} = 5.38 degree

so it is 5.54 km towards 5.38 degree North of West.
