Answer:

  • 1.78×10⁶ C

Explanation:

Using the atomic mass of pluonium atoms (244 g/mol), you can calculate the number of atoms in 47.0 g. Then, knowing that each plutonium atom has 96 protons, you calculate the number of protons in the 47.0 g sample. Finally, using the positive charge of one proton, you calculate the total positive charge in the 47.0 g of plutonium.

<u>1. Number of atoms of plutonium in 47.0 g</u>

  • Number of moles = mass / atomic mass = 47.0 g / 244 = 0.1926 moles

  • Number of atoms = number of moles × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

  • Number of atoms = 0.1926 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 1.15998×10²³ atoms

<u>2. Number of protons</u>

  • Number of protons = 1.15998×10²³ atoms × 96 protons/atom = 1.11385×10²⁵ protons

<u>3. Charge</u>

<u />

  • Charge = charge of one proton × number of protons

  • Charge = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C/proton × 1.11385×10²⁵ protons = 1.78×10⁶C

What electrons are in “motion”, what do you have?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

A 13,000 kg helicopter accelerates upward a 0.5 m/s^2 while lifting a 2000 pound car. to the nearest newton, what is the lift fo
Vinil7 [7]

Lift force exerted by the air on the rotors=143244 N

Explanation:

we use Newtons second law

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F= lift force

m= mass of helicopter= 13000 Kg

M= mass of car= 2000 lb=907.2 kg

a= acceleration= 0.5 m/s²

g= acceleration due to gravity

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F=(M+m)(a+g)

F=(13000+907.2)(0.5+9.8)

F=143244 N
