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

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

What do zooplankton and krill have in common?
serious [3.7K]
<h2><em>Hello, thank you for choosing brainly today. My name is Ethan and I'll be solving your question. </em><em><u>"What do zooplankton and krill have in common?"</u></em></h2>

Krill and plankton are two groups of organisms found in the ocean. Krill are species of crustacean related to shrimp, and serve as a very important link in the food chain of the sea. Plankton consist of a larger group of organisms with much more variety, including bacteria, algae, protozoans, jellyfish and some species of cephalopods.

Propulsion

The primary factor that determines whether a species is plankton or not is propulsion. Plankton organisms lack the ability to swim against the tide, and instead float from place to place on sea currents. They may be capable of some movement, and some types of plankton can even hunt for food, but none is powerful enough to make its own headway through the ocean. Adult krill are capable of swimming against currents, but their larvae and eggs fall into the plankton category.

Variation

Krill are crustaceans of the Euphausiacea order, which consists of 86 different species. Plankton, on the other hand, can come from a wide variety of different species and orders. Plankton fall into three broad categories, depending on their primary function. Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms, capable of photosynthesis. Zooplankton are animal plankton species that get their nutrients by eating other microscopic organisms. Bacterioplankton are the smallest plankton, and often serve as food for zooplankton and other lifeforms.

Appearance

Krill species have similar characteristics and generally resemble tiny shrimp. Most species reach around 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) as adults, while the largest species can reach sizes of up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Plankton, on the other hand, consists of organisms of many different shapes and sizes. The smallest categories include microscopic viruses, protozoans, small crustaceans, and other tiny organisms. At the larger end of the scale, megaplankton are any plankton over 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in size, and include large animals, such as cephalopods and jellyfish. The largest plankton is the lion's mane jellyfish, which can reach 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter and grow tentacles more than 36.5 meters (120 feet) long.

Role

Plankton and krill serve similar, but slightly different, roles in the food chain. Phytoplankton synthesize nutrients, while bacterioplankton recycle nutrients from decomposing matter in the ocean, providing some of the fundamental sources of nutrition for all ocean creatures. Zooplankton serve to concentrate those nutrients by eating smaller plankton and serving as food for larger creatures. Krill are one step up in the food chain, eating plankton and serving as a nutrient bridge from microscopic life forms to larger fish and mammals.

Water enters a baseboard radiator at 180 °F and at a flow rate of 2.0 gpm. Assuming the radiator releases heat into the room at
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Temperature of water leaving the radiator = 160°F

Explanation:

Heat released = (ṁcΔT)

Heat released = 20000 btu/hr = 5861.42 W

ṁ = mass flowrate = density × volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flowrate = 2 gallons/min = 0.000126 m³/s; density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ṁ = 1000 × 0.000126 = 0.126 kg/s

c = specific heat capacity for water = 4200 J/kg.K

H = ṁcΔT = 5861.42

ΔT = 5861.42/(0.126 × 4200) = 11.08 K = 11.08°C

And in change in temperature terms,

10°C= 18°F

11.08°C = 11.08 × 18/10 = 20°F

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

20 = 180 - T₂

T₂ = 160°F

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?
storchak [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}
