How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 26 and its mass number is 82?

The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Therefore, you can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number, therefore you just have to do the mass number - atomic number to find the number of neutrons.

82 - 26 = 56 neutrons.

What are 2 ways electromagnets are used

lisabon 2012 [21]

Electromagnets are used for various purposes but I fathom in this instance, the questioner is asking about how electromagnetics can be used to attraction or repulsion.
Example, electromagnets are used for attraction in cranes which attach them to containers in order to lift them.
Meanwhile, Maglev trains use electromagnets repulsive properties.

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it

Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

$F= ma (\rightarrow$ Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V$

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

$F_b = ma$

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

$F_b = \rho V g$

$F_b = 1.2*323*9.8$

$F_b = 3798.5$

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

$F_{net} = F_b -W$

$F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)$

$F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)$

$F_{net} = 1030N$

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

$F_{net} = m' g$

$m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}$

$m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}$

$m' = 105Kg$

Setler79 [48]

Substitute your values into the formula:

W = Work done = 288

$Q_{in}$ = 360

Solve to find e:

e = 288 ÷ 360 = 0.8

Convert e to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

0.8 × 100 = 80

3.00 m3 of a fixed mass of a gas at 150 kPa. Calculate the pressure if the volume is reduced to 1.20 m3 at a constant temperatur

viktelen [127]

Answer:

P₂ = 375 kPa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 3 m³

Initial pressure, P₁ = 150 kPa

Final volume, V₂ = 1.2 m³

We need to find the final pressure.

At constant temperature,

$P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{150\ kPa\times 3\ m^3}{1.2\ m^3}\\\\P_2=375\ kPa$

So, the new pressure is 375 kPa.
