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

Physics

6 0

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 is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system an
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

∆U= q + w

= 10kj+(-70kJ)

-60kJ

, w = + 70 kJ

(work done on the system is positive)

q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)

∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ

Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 3.37 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.04 x 1011 m. With respect to th
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer

Given,

Time period of star,T = 3.37 x 10⁷ s

Radius of circular orbit,R = 1.04 x 10¹¹ m

a) Angular speed of the planet

   \omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3.37\times 10^{7}}

   \omega = 1.864\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s

b) tangential speed

   v = r \omega = 1.04\times 10^{11}\times 1.864 \times 10^{-7}

       v = 1.94 x 10⁴ m/s

c) centripetal acceleration magnitude

      a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}= \dfrac{(1.94\times 10^4)^2}{1.04\times 10^{11}}

          a = 3.62 x 10⁻³ m/s²

As players speed up, their kinetic energy will?
igomit [66]
Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. So when anything or anybody speeds up, its kinetic energy increases.

What is the law of inertia? Give an example of inertia in action.
belka [17]
Answer

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.
