Why does the band of stability curve upward at high atomic numbers? excess neutrons are required due to the repulsion between th

e protons. atoms with high atomic numbers have a large number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. this increased number of electrons requires a lot of extra mass in the nucleus to keep the electrons in their orbit?

The band of stability curves upward at high atomic numbers due to the fact that excess of neutrons are required due to the repulsion between protons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. As the number of protons (atomic number) increase, the electrical repulsion force, due to the same sign of the protons inside the nucleus, becomes more dominant compared to the nuclear force attractions, then the nucleus needs more neutrons to gain stability.The presence of more neutrons decrease the density of protons which decreases the repulsion among them.

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour relative to the water in going 10 miles upstream and then returning
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at  upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
