Answer: 20
Explanation: Mass number is the number of neutrons plus the number of protons. 8 + 12 gives 20.
The number of protons an element has is its atomic number so the atomic number would be 29
Answer:
the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Kinetic energy of each proton that makes up the beam = 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ J
Mass of proton = 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Charge of proton = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
distance d = 2 m
we know that
Kinetic Energy = Charge of proton × Potential difference ΔV
so
Potential difference ΔV = Kinetic Energy / Charge of proton
we substitute
Potential difference ΔV = ( 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ ) / ( 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ )
Potential difference ΔV = 20287.14 V
Now, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m will be;
E = Potential difference ΔV / distance d
we substitute
E = 20287.14 V / 2 m
E = 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
Therefore, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
Recall that work is the amount of energy transferred to an object when it experiences a displacement and is acted upon by an external force. It is given a symbol of W and is measured in joules (J).
W=\vec{F}\cdot \Delta \vec{d}
We can use this formula to determine the work done by very specific forces, generating specific types of energy. We will examine three types of energy in this activity: gravitational potential, kinetic, and thermal. Before we start deriving equations for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, we should note that since work is the transfer and/or transformation of energy, we can also write its symbol as \Delta E.
Answer:
(a) 32.5 kgm/s
(b) 32.5 Ns
(c) 10.8 N
Explanation:
The change in momentum can be calculated from the definition of linear momentum:
Then, the change in momentum of the body is of 32.5 kgm/s (a).
Now, from the impulse-momentum theorem, we know that the change in momentum of a body 
is equal to the impulse 
exerted to it. So, the impulse produced by the force equals 32.5 kgm/s (or 32.5 Ns) (b).
Finally, since we know the value of the impulse and the interval of time, we can easily solve for the magnitude of the force:
It means that the magnitude of the force is of 10.8N (c).
