The mass number of a nucleus (except Hydrogen) is: number of protons + number of neutrons.

A=Z+N

A=mass number=protons + neutrons.
Z=atomic number=number of protons.
N=number of neutrons. 

In the case of Hydrogen it depends of isotope of Hydrogen . 
the hydrogen has three isotopes, 
protium : A=Z, because N=0
deuterium:  A=Z+N;   N=1
 tritium: A=Z+N;    N=2

When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load need
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

If the center of the load is directly above the vertebrae, there is no torque in the system. This is a good thing so that the vertebrae are not put out of alignment over time. (Of course, this still doesn't prevent compression of the vertebrae over time, which is a possibility.)

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

              Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

                                E_{i}  = E_{f}

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

K.E_{i} + P.E_{i} = K.E_{f} + P.E_{f}       (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

                 K.E_{i} = 0    and    P.E_{i} = mgh          

and when it reaches the river, it has

       K.E_{f}  = 1/2mv^{2}    and   P.E_{f}  = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

                              0 + mgh = 1/2mv^{2} + 0

                                      mgh = 1/2mv^{2}

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em>                                           </em>gh = 1/2v^{2}

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.
