If an isotope has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in it's nucleus, what is it's atomic mass?

Physics

The atomic mass is always equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. If you add the number of protons and neutrons (8 + 10) = 18 you will find that the atomic mass is 18.

Iron atoms have been detected in the sun's atmosphere, some with many of their electrons stripped away. What is the net electric
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the net electric charge of the iron atom is 2.24 × 10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that neural iron atoms should have same number of protons and electrons i.e 26 and 26 but in the sun's atmosphere, many of their electrons stripped away.

so; we have 26 protons and 12 electrons, meaning ( 26-12=14) 14 electrons have been stripped away.

when we loss electron, we gain positive charge

so, the Net charge of the iron atom of with 26 protons and 12 electrons will be;

q = 26 ( proton charge) + 12( electron charge )

we know that; a singular proton has a charge of 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

protons carry negative charge while electrons carry negative

we substitute

q = 26 ( 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ ) + 12( -1.6×10⁻¹⁹  )

q = 2.24 × 10⁻¹⁸ C

Therefore, the net electric charge of the iron atom is 2.24 × 10⁻¹⁸ C

What is strength of the electric field between two parallel conducting plates separated by 1.00 cm and having an electric potent
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Electric field will be 1.5\times 10^{6}V/m

Explanation:

We have given potential difference between the two plates = 15000 volt

Distance between the plates = d=1cm=10^{-2}m

We have to find the electric field strength between the plates

Potential difference between the plates is equal to V=Ed

So electric field strength will be E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{15000}{10^{-2}}=1.5\times 10^{6}V/m

So electric field will be 1.5\times 10^{6}V/m

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N

Weight of the craft

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N

Thrust

F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

Time period from one noon to the next
matrenka [14]
That's the period of time known as one solar "day". We subdivide it into 24 slices which we call "hours". Using this system of time units, the day is about 4 minutes longer than one complete axial rotation of the Earth.
