Answer:

15

Explanation:

The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is total number of protons. And since we have the mass number and number of neutrons, we can use simple subtraction (30 - 15) to find that the atomic number is 15.

3. What are the challenges of looking for Dyson spheres?
S_A_V [24]

1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.

2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.

3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.

15. You are watching a baseball game on television that 15
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

t_total = 6.99 s

Explanation:

It asks us how long it takes to hear the sound, for this we must look for the time (t₁) it takes for the sound to reach the microphone, the time it takes for the video signal (t₂) to reach the television and the time (₃) it takes for the TV sound to reach us, so the total delay time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₂

we look for t1, it indicates that the distance x = 22m

          v = x / t

           t = x / v

           t₁ = 22/343

           t₁ = 6.41 10-2 s

time t₂

          t₂ = 4500 103/3 108

          t₂ = 1.5 10-5 s

time t₃

          t₃ = 2/343

          t₃ = 5.83 10⁻³

Total time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

         t_total = 6.41 10⁻² + ​​1.5 10⁻⁵ + 0.583 10⁻²

         t_total = 6.99 s

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

595391.482946 m/s

3.21875\times 10^{6}

Explanation:

E = Energy = 1.85 keV

I = Current = 5.15 mA

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

t = Time taken = 1 second

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Velocity of proton is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.85\times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=595391.482946\ m/s

The speed of the proton is 595391.482946 m/s

Current is given by

I=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=It\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\times (1\ sec)\\\Rightarrow Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\ C

Number of protons is

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5.15\times 10^{-3}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=3.21875\times 10^{6}\ protons

The number of protons is 3.21875\times 10^{6}

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Based on the graph, which data point is most likely to have experimental
Len [333]

Answer:

B. 59 kg

Explanation:

From the graph you notice that a linear relation in indicated by the line joining the points such that the points on the line represent the data that show a correct relationship in the experiment.

This means that the point outside the line has an error .

This point is the value 59 kg that does not align with other values which are included in the graph.
