Answer:

The answer to your question is: 20

Explanation:

Atomic number is the number of proton and atom has. Each element has a specific number of protons, if the number of protons change, then this is a new element.

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons and atom has.

Mass number = protons + neutrons

Data

Number of protons = ?

Atomic number = 20

Then,

atomic number = number of protons = 20

What is a point of view of an object used to determine another object's motion

Finger [1]

<h2><em>A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.</em></h2>

A seagull flying horizontally at 8.00m/s carries a clam with a mass of 300g in its beak. Calculate the total mechanical energy o

Stells [14]

Answer:

9.6J+88.2J=97.8J

Explanation:

Here the velocity of the seagull is given,mass is given and its height.

We have to find its mechanical energy my friend.

Mechanical energy=kinetic energy + potential energy.

First we will find kinetic energy.

For calculating kinetic energy we need mass and velocity,which are given here.

So, Ek=

$1 \div 2mv {?}^{2}$

So by substituting the values we get 9.6J.

Now we find the potential energy which is mgh.

By substituting the values we get 88.2J.

Then we add both of those and get 97.8J

I hope this satisfies you and make sure you contact me if it doesn't

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

where ;

$m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2$

Given in the question that;

$m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?$

Apply the formula as;

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>
