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.

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 1.4 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crown glass that has a thickness of 3.0 cm. Light
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

t = 2.13 10-10 s , d = 6.39 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the definition of refractive index

        n = c / v

Where n is the refraction index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium.

The refractive indices of ice and crown glass are 1.13 and 1.52, respectively, therefore the speed of the beam in the material medium is

        v = c / n

As the beam strikes perpendicularly, the beam path is equal to the distance of the leaves, there is no refraction, so we can use the uniform motion relationships

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

        t = d n / c

Let's look for the times on each sheet

Ice

        t₁ = 1.4 10⁻² 1.31 / 3 10⁸

        t₁ = 0.6113 10⁻¹⁰ s

Crown glass (BK7)

        t₂ = 3.0 10⁻² 1.52 / 3.0 10⁸

        t₂ = 1.52 10⁻¹⁰ s

Time is a scalar therefore it is additive

         t = t₁ + t₂

         t = (0.6113 + 1.52) 10⁻¹⁰

         t = 2.13 10-10 s

The distance traveled by this time in a vacuum would be

        d = c t

       d = 3 10⁸ 2.13 10⁻¹⁰

       d = 6.39 10⁻² m

       d = 6.39 cm

car was moving in a straight road of length 320 km it covered 240 km with an average velocity 75 km/hr then it ran out of fuel a
Stella [2.4K]

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is 69.57 km/h.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Length of the road, L = 320 km</em>
  • <em>Distance covered = 240 km at 75 km/h</em>
  • <em>time spent refueling, t₂ = 0.6 hr</em>
  • <em>Final velocity, = 100 km/hr</em>

The time spent by the before refueling is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t_1 = \frac{240}{75} \\\\t_1 = 3.2 \ hours

The time spent by the car for the remaining journey;

t_3 = \frac{320 - 240}{100} \\\\t_3 = 0.8 \ hr

The total time of the journey is calculated as follows;

t = t_1 + t_2 + t_3\\\\t = 3.2 \ hr \ + \ 0.6 \ hr \ + \ 0.8 \ hr\\\\t = 4.6 \ hours

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time} \\\\v = \frac{320}{4.6} \\\\v = 69.57 \ km/h

The band gab of semi conductor?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Properties of semiconductors are determined by the energy gap between valence and conduction bands. To understand, what is semiconductor, we have to define these terms. In solid-state physics, the energy gap or the band gap is an energy range between valence band and conduction band where electron states are forbidden.

What homemade things could I use for wheels on a small balloon powered car?
Fantom [35]

You can use mostly anything as long as it is circular. Depending on how big it is, you could use sturdy paper plates and use a stick/rod and tape to hold it together, or you could use bottle caps if the car you are trying to make is really small.
