How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 22 and its mass number is 96?

Dovator [93]3 years ago

1. The mass number is protons + neutrons = mass number. In this case, we have protons + neutron = 164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43 + neutrons = 164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get neutrons = 121.
2.  = 4

3. The number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons. 

A=mass number: 
Z=atomic number (= number of protons)
N=number of neutrons:

A=Z+N

If the number of protons in the nucleus is equal the number of neutrons , we would have an even mass number; because Z=N=x; then A=x+x=2x  (this is always an even number) but  23 is an odd number, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons.

Two light bulbs have resistances of 400 Ω and 800 ΩThe two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120- V line. Find the cu
Natasha2012 [34]

1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

P=I^2 R

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W

For the second bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W

An 88 kg worker stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale reads 900 N. Fi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The magnitude is "3.8 m/s²", in the upward direction.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 88 kg

Scale reads,

T = 900 N

As we know,

⇒  N=mg

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =88\times 9.8

⇒      =862.4 \ N

Now,

⇒  T=mg-ma

On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

⇒  900=862.4-9.8 a

On subtracting "862.4" from both sides, we get

⇒  900-862.4=862.4-9.8 a-862.4

⇒              37.6=-9.8a

⇒                   a=-\frac{37.6}{9.8}

⇒                   a=3.8 \ m/s^2 (upward direction)

A 5-turn square loop (10 cm along aside, resistance = 4.0 ) is placed in a magnetic field that makes an angle of30o with the pla
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Area A of the coil = .1 x .1 = .01 m²

no of turns n = 5

magnetic field B = .5 t²

Flux  Φ perpendicular to plane passing through it.= nBA sin30

rate of change of flux

dΦ/dt = nAdBsin30 / dt

= nA d/dt (.5t²x .5 )

= nA x 2 x .25 x t

At t = 4s

dΦ/dt = nA x 2

= 5x .01 x 2

= .1

current = induced emf / resistance

= .1 / 4

= .025 A

= 25 mA.
