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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

The black means that it is a great emitter/absorber of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic radiation is reflected of the white and absorbed nurture black meaning that the temperature of the black tarmac increases to that greater the the white

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?

maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=I\times\alpha$

Here, I = mk²

$\tau=mk^2\times\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5$

$\tau=0.06\ N-m$

$\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is $6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m$

Do you think that the formation of a rainbow is more a demonstration of the wave-like or particle-like behavior of light

kogti [31]

Answer:

The formation of a rainbow is more a demonstration of the wave-like behavior of light.

Explanation:

A rainbow is caused by the interaction of sunlight with atmospheric conditions. A rainbow formation results from the refraction and reflection of light due to changes in the light's wavelength direction. Naturally, light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water in a refraction as if "bent." Then light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths or colors. With light exiting from the droplet, a rainbow is formed.
