Answer:

Number of protons = atomic number; number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

Explanation:

Z = atomic number = number of protons

A = mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

It would be the first option.

Explanation-
The number of protons is equal to the atomic number the number of neutrons is the mass minus the atomic number.

Two 2.0 kg bodies, A and B, collide. The velocities before the collision are ~vA = (15ˆi + 30ˆj) m/s and ~vB = (−10ˆi + 5.0ˆj) m

Answer:

Part a)

$10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v$

Part b)

$\Delta K = 500 J$

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two masses so here total momentum of the system will remains conserved

so we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$(2kg)(15\hat i + 30 \hat j) + (2 kg)(-10\hat i + 5\hat j) = 2kg(-5\hat i + 20\hat j) + 2\vec v$

$5\hat i + 35\hat j = (-5\hat i + 20\hat j) +\vec v$

$10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v$

Part b)

magnitude of the initial speed of A = $\sqrt{15^2 + 30^2} = 33.54 m/s$

magnitude of the initial speed of B = $\sqrt{10^2 + 5^2} = 11.18 m/s$

magnitude of final speed of A = $\sqrt{5^2 + 20^2} = 20.61 m/s$

magnitude of final speed of B = $\sqrt{10^2 + 15^2} = 18.03 m/s$

Now change in total kinetic energy is given as

$\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1i}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2i}^2) - (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1f}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2)$

$\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}2(33.54)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(11.18)^2) - (\frac{1}{2}2(20.61)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(18.03)^2)$

$\Delta K = 500 J$

Question 6

Margaret [11]

Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

<h2>Formation of caves</h2>

The type of rocks that once existed in these locations are limestone and dolomite whereas the pH of the nearby groundwater is slightly acidic which is responsible for the formation of caves. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone due to acid rain.

Rainwater reacts with carbon dioxide from the air and percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone which become turn to form caves so we can conclude that Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

Which of the following are basic principles that apply to circuits? Choose the 2 correct answers from the choices below.

marta [7]

The basic principles that apply to circuits is that electrons must receive energy from a source, and electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

<h3 /><h3>What is circuit?</h3>

Individual electronic components, like resistors, transistors, are connected by metallic wires or traces by which the electric current can flow to form a circuit design.

The basic principles that apply to circuits will be;

1. Electrons must receive energy from a source.

2. Electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

Hence, option 1 and 2 are correct.
