Atoms from two different elements may have the same number of neutrons, but never the same number of protons

Atoms of an element with the same mass number make up an isotope of the element. Different isotopes of the same element cannot have the same mass number, but isotopes of different elements often do have the same mass number, e.g., carbon-14 (6 protons and 8 neutrons) and nitrogen-14 (7 protons and 7 neutrons).

A student whirls a rubber stopper attached to a string in a horizontal circle above her head. If the radius of the stopper in ci

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$v = 12.57 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the circular motion is given as

$R = 50.00 cm$

time period of the motion is given as

$T = 0.2500 s$

now we know that it is moving with uniform speed

so it is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

now plug in all data

$v = \frac{2\pi(0.50)}{0.25}$

$v = 12.57 m/s$

A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to

kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

A flat surface is in a uniform magnetic field. Given only the area of the surface and the magnetic flux through the surface, it

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Given the area A of a flat surface and the magnetic flux through the surface $\Phi$ it is possible to calculate the magnitude $\frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos \theta$ .

Explanation:

The magnetic flux gives an idea of how many magnetic field lines are passing through a surface. The SI unit of the magnetic flux $\Phi$ is the weber (Wb), of the magnetic field B is the tesla (T) and of the area A is ( $m^{2}$ ). So 1 Wb=1 T.m².

For a flat surface S of area A in a uniform magnetic field B, with $\theta$ being the angle between the vector normal to the surface S and the direction of the magnetic field B, we define the magnetic flux through the surface as:

$\Phi=B\ A\ cos\theta$

We are told the values of $\Phi$ and B, then we can calculate the magnitude

$\frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos\theta$

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.

Novay_Z [31]

It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is 43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

A 12-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m

ad-work [718]

Explanation:

Given Data:

mass of dog = 12 Kg

dog's center of mass = 0.20m

length of dog = 0.50m

height of dog's jump = ?

Solution:

Work done of gravitational force = Gain in Potential energy

2.1 × mgΔh = mg (h - 0.1)

2.1 × (0.3 - 0.1) = (h - 0.1)

h = 0.52 m
