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.

Answer:

$x_1 = 3.74m$

Explanation:

given,

mass of man = 70 kg

mass of sled = 12 kg

F = m a_s

$a_s = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_s = \dfrac{8.2}{12}$

$a_s = 0.68\ m/s^2$

$F = m a_m$

$a_m = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a_m = \dfrac{8.2}{70}$

$a_m = 0.12\ m/s^2$

$x_1+x_2 = 25$

$\dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2+ \dfrac{1}{2}a_mt^2 = 25$

$(a_c+a_m)t^2=50$

$(0.12+0.68)t^2=50$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{0.8}}$

t = 7.90 s

$x_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}a_ct^2$

$x_1 = 0.5\times 0.12 \times 7.90^2$

$x_1 = 3.74m$

a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50N. what are the size and direction of the force that the wall exert on the man?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Wall must apply a force of 50 Newton but in opposite direction. Hope you got it :-D
