The nucleus of an atom has some protons and some neutrons in it.
The "mass number" is the total number of all particles in the nucleus. 
The "atomic number" is the number of protons in the nucleus.

Element X has 71 particles in the nucleus, and 38 of them are protons.
So (71-38) = 33 of them are neutrons.

Answer:

The element has 33 neutrons

Explanation:

1. Find the mass number:

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Mass number = 71

2. Find the atomic number:

Atomic number = number of protons

Atomic number = 38

3. Find the number of neutrons:

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

Number of neutrons = 71 - 38

Number of neutrons = 33

a teacher drives from school to the mall. then she goes to the doctors office for a physical examination. what is the magnitude
Amanda [17]

The magnitude of the teachers displacement is the difference between

the location of the school and the location of the doctors office

The reason behind the above expression are explained as follows

The known locations of the teacher;

Initial location; The school

Second location; The mall

The eventual location; The doctors office

The required information;

The magnitude of the teachers displacement

The method of obtaining the displacement of the teacher;

Qualitatively, the displacement of the teacher can be obtained by applying the definition of displacement as follows;

The definition of displacement is an object's change in position, given by the difference between its start and finish locations

According to the definition of displacement, therefore, the magnitude of

the teachers displacement is the distance between the school and the

doctors office which is given by the difference between the coordinates of

the location of the school and the location of the doctors office

The magnitude of the displacement of the teacher = The coordinate of the location of the doctors office - The coordinate of the location of the school
