Answer:

magnitude of A − B =  15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a  magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = \sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}

|A - B| = \sqrt{250}

|A - B| = 15.81 km

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

What are some actions that can be taken to remedy air pollution? Select all that apply. Run your air conditioner at a higher set
Sati [7]

Answer:  Government passing regulatory laws

Car emissions testing

Carpooling and less driving overall

Air pollution results when a mixture of particles and gases that can reach in harmful concentrations both outdoors as well as indoors. This increase in concentration can lead to rise in the temperatures and global warming it is also related with the health hazards. Soot, smoke, pollen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane are the examples of the common pollutants.

Government passing regulatory laws: The government can ban some of the fossil fuels to prevent air pollution, and some vehicles which are likely to emit more partially combustible gases.

Car emission testing: Nowadays, cars and other vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters which converts the uncombustible gaseous products into less harmful gases which are emitted from the vehicle. The car gas emission testing should be performed to either allow a vehicle or ban the movement of the vehicle.

Carpooling and less driving overall: Carpooling is the sharing of one vehicle with more than one individual. This will prevent the need of others to drive another vehicle. The less the number of vehicles on the road the lesser will be the emission of gases and less pollution will be caused.
