Answer:

Atomic number

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the atom.

The mass number of an element is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons.

The atomic number of an element is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

The atomic number is generally represented by letter Z.

The mass number is generally represented by the letter A.

How many revolutions per minute would a 25 m -diameter ferris wheel need to make for the passengers to feel "weightless" at the
kozerog [31]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let ω =  the angular velocity (rad/s) of the wheel.

At the topmost point, the passenger, with mass m,  will feel weightless if the passenger's weight matches the centripetal force.
The passenger's weight is mg.
The centripetal force is mω²r.

Therefore
mω²r = mg
ω = √(g/r)

Because g = 9.8 m/s² and r = 25/2 = 12.5 m, therefore
ω = √(9.8/12.5) = 0.8854 rad/s

Because 1 revolution per second is 2π rad/s, therefore
\omega = (0.8854 \,  \frac{rad}{s} )*( \frac{1}{2 \pi} \,  \frac{rev}{rad} )*(60 \,  \frac{s}{min} ) = 8.455 \, rev/min

Answer: 8.455 rev/min

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass is 1.72°

Explanation:

Given:

Refractive index for red light n _{1} = 1.620

Refractive index for violet n' _{1} = 1.660

Refractive index for air n_{2} = 1

Incident angle \theta _{1} = 28.30°

According to the snell's law,

    n_{1} \sin \theta _{1} = n_{2}   \sin \theta _{2}

For red light,

  1.620 \times \sin 28.30 = 1 \sin \theta _{2}

Where \theta _{2} = transmitted angle for red light

   \theta _{2} = 50.18°

For violet light,

  1.660 \times \sin 28.30 = 1 \sin \theta' _{2}

Where \theta' _{2} = transmitted angle for violet light

   \theta' _{2} = 51.9°

Angular separation between red and violet light is given by,

  \theta ' _{2} - \theta _{2} = 51.9 -50.18 = 1.72°

Therefore, the angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass is 1.72°

suppose the spring in the sample problem is replaced with a spring that stretches 36 cm from its equilibrium position
amm1812

The gravitational force is acting downward as the spring is held vertically. Therefore, spring is stretched downward and the force is directly proportional to the stretched distance. The product of the mass and the gravitational acceleration gives gravitational force.
