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! :)

Answer:

The missing force is 110 newtons

Explanation:

A net force of 25 newtons means the larger amount of force (135 newtons) has 25 fewer newtons. To get the missing force you subtract 135 from 25, giving you 110 newtons.

Kepler-62e is an exoplanet that orbits within the habitable zone around its parent star. The planet has a mass that is 3.57 time
skad [1K]

Answer:

g' = 13.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth is given by the formula:

g = GMe/Re²   --------------- euation 1

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

Me = Mass of Earth

Re = Radius of Earth

Now, the the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Kepler-62e is:

g' = GM'/R'²   --------------- euation 1

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Kepler-62e

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M' = Mass of Kepler-62e = 3.57 Me

R' = Radius of Kepler-62e = 1.61 Re

Therefore,

g' = G(3.57 Me)/(1.61 Re)²

g' = 1.38 GMe/Re²

using equation 1:

g' = 1.38 g

where,

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

g' = 1.38(9.8 m/s²)

<u>g' = 13.5 m/s²</u>
