Answer:

The neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom.

Explanation:

An isotope is an atoms of elements with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons. Thus, the different values of their mass number.

The neutron-proton ratio could make an isotope either unstable, thus predicting the radioactive nature of the isotope.

Ask Your Teacher The height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the surface of the water is given by h = −16
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

h = −16t² + 32t

When, h = 16

16 = −16t² + 32t

Divide each of the numbers by 16

1 = -1t² + 2t

Rearrange the equation

1t²-2t+1 = 0

Solving by the quadratic formula, we get

t=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times 1\times 1}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\pm 0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ s

So, time taken by the dolphin to jump out of the water and touch the trainer's hand is 1 second.

An oscillating block - spring system has a mechanical energy of 1.10 j, and amplitude of 11.0 cm, and a maximum speed of 1.7 m/s
ioda
The total mechanical energy of the block-spring system is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the block:
E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring
m is the mass of the block
v is the speed of the block

At the point of maximum displacement of the spring, the velocity of the block is zero: v=0, so the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy of the spring:
E= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)
where we used x=A, the amplitude (which is the maximum displacement of the spring).
Since we know 
A = 11.0 cm= 0.11 m
E = 1.10 J
We can re-arrange (1) to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{2E}{A^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 1.10 J}{(0.11 m)^2}=181.8 N/m
