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

Physics

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.

Now consider the statements in Part A that are inferred from models. A solar model is used to calculate interior conditions base
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d. We can calculate it by applying Newton's version of Kepler's third law

Explanation:

The measurements of a Star like the Sun have several problems, the first one is distance, but the most important is the temperature since as we get closer all the instruments will melt. This is why all measurements must be indirect because of the effects that these variables create on nearby bodies.

Kepler's laws are deduced from Newton's law of universal gravitation, in these laws the mass of the Sun affects the orbit of the planets since it creates a force of attraction, if measured the orbit and the time it takes to travel it we can know the centripetal acceleration and with it knows the force, from where we clear the mass of the son.

Let's review the statements of the exercise

.a) False. We don't have good enough models for this calculation

.b) False. The size of the sun is very difficult to measure because it is a mass of gas, in addition the density changes strongly with depth

.c) False. The amount of light that comes out of the sun is not all the light produced and is due to quantum effects where the mass of the sun is not taken into account

.d) True. This method has been used to calculate the mass of the sun and the other planets since the variable distance and time are easily measured from Earth

Correct answer is D

During takeoff, an airplane climbs with a speed of 195 m/s at an angle of 15° above the horizontal. The speed and angle constitu
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the figure for a graphic description of the problem. Notice that the x-component of the vector velocity (vx), the y-component (vy) and the vector velocity form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to obtain the magnitude of vx and vy:

We can find vx using the following trigonometric rule of a right triangle:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 15° = vx / 195 m/s

195 m/s · cos 15° = vx

vx = 188 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 188 m/s

To calculate the y-component we will use the following trigonometric rule:

sin α = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 15° = vy / 195 m/s

195 m/s · sin 15° = vy

vy = 50 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 50 m/s.

What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment? ​
valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.
malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.
