Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

Carbon has proton number of 6

If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

The energy of a photon is proportional to its a) amplitude. d) wave number, k-2m/A c) velocity. b) frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :

$E=h\nu$

Where

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

Or $E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 49.4 m/s. Before being caught, the baseball travels a hor

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$v = 3.61 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that ball travels horizontal distance of 24.7 m with uniform speed 49.4 m/s

so we will have

$t = \frac{x}{v_x}$

$t = \frac{24.7}{49.4}$

$t = 0.5 s$

now in the same time ball is turned by angle

$\theta = 52.7 rad$

now we know that

$\theta = \omega t$

$52.7 = \omega (0.5)$

$\omega = 105.4 rad/s$

now the tangential speed of a point at equator is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 0.0343(105.4)$

$v = 3.61 m/s$

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

Paraphin [41]

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

Based on the diagram which of the following statements is true of a helium atom

snow_lady [41]

Answer: Option 2

Explanation:

Option 1 is wrong because there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in nucleus.

Option 3 is wrong because there are two electrons moving around nucleus.

Option 4 is wrong because electrons are negatively charged and are moving around the nucleus.

Option 5 is wrong because there equal amount of protons and electrons with 2 each.
