Lithium has 3 protons. how many neutrons are in the isotope lithium -8

Physics
2 answers:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

5 neutrons

Explanation:

Both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu). The number in the notation for an isotope is its mass in amu. That means the number is essentially the sum of protons and neutrons in the isotope (electrons don't contribute significantly to the mass).

If lithium has 3 protons, lithium-8 has 8 - 3 = 5 neutrons.

Define each of these dimensions of development: physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and moral. (8 points)
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical development refers to the growth, physical and biological changes that happens in the humans body between birth and till they get to adolescence stage. There is development in brain, senses, they way they talk, physical appearance e.r.c.

Examples of these include, as humans grow, there is an increase in the way they interact with other people.

Babies tend to interact and learn new words even as their sense organs are been developed.

Cognitive development refers to how children develop in knowledge, skills, they way they think, their disposition and problem solving ability. These help children to think and understand their environment better.

Psychosocial development entails psychological and social development and it refers to how human personality is developed, acquiring social attitudes and skills from young age to adult. It entails how humans interact with their environment.

Moral development entails changes that occur in humans from childhood to adulthood by possesing the the skills and ability to know what is right and what is wrong i.e an understanding of morals behavior.

1) A plane lands on a runway with a speed of 125 m/s, moving east, and it slows to a stop in 13.0 s. What is the magnitude (in m
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: 1) a = 9.61m/s² pointing to west.

             2) (a) Δv = - 37.9km/s

                  (b) a = - 6.10⁷km/years

Explanation: Aceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

1) For the plane:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{125}{13}

a = 9.61m/s²

The plane is moving east, so velocity points in that direction. However, it is stopping at the time of 13s, so acceleration's direction is in the opposite direction. Therefore, acceleration points towards west.

2) Total change of velocity:

\Delta v = v_{f}-v_{i}

\Delta v = -17.1-(+20.8)

\Delta v= -37.9km/s

The interval is in years, so transforming seconds in years:

v = \frac{-37.9}{3.15.10^{-7}}

v=-12.03.10^{7}km/years

Calculating acceleration:

a=\frac{-12.03.10^{-7}}{2.01}

a=-6.10^{7}

Acceleration of an asteroid is a = -6.10⁷km/years .

A 0.54 kg bullfrog is sitting at rest on a level log. How large is the normal force of the log on the bullfrog?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<h2>5.3N</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullfrog= 0.54kg

Step two:

Required

The force F in Newton

From newton first law

F=mg

The acceleration due to gravity acting on the frog is 9.81m/s^2

hence

F=0.54*9.81

F=5.3N

The normal force is 5.3N
