Answer:

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The number of neutrons is </u><u>67</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the atomic number is the number of protons. If we subtract the atomic number from the mass number, we can actually find the number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Neutrons = 90 - 23 = 67

Matter is the building block of everything that we encounter in our lives. Matter is made of atoms, which are in turn made of tiny particles which are called electrons, protons, and neutrons. The ammount of these 3 elements, and their topological configuration in the atoms, is what determines what a certain element is (like Carbon, Hydrogen, Iron, etc).

In some cases, some elements may lose or gain some electrons. Regarded that this missing or extra electrons are not very high in number, the material doesn't lose any of its properties, however it will always try to get its number of electrons back to normal. This is when we say that an element has a <em>charge</em>, which is a measure of how much electrons a body needs to get back to normal. A body has positive charge if it lacks electrons, and has negative charge if it has extra electrons.

This charge causes the material to have an Electric field, which is a measure of how much does it attract or repel electrons. In the case of our problem, we need to compute exactly that, the Electric field. In our problem, we have an infinitely long cylinder with a linear charge density $\lambda$ , this means that all parts of the cylinder have the same charge, and due to symmetry, the electric field is constant on the angular and longitudinal directions of the cylinder.

This makes easy to apply Gauss' Law, since for a Gaussian curve in the shape of a concentric cylinder (with a higher radius than that of our charged cylinder) we can write:

$\Phi = \frac{\lambda \cdot L}{\epsilon_0}$

Where $\Phi$ is called the Electric flux. Since the electric field is constant for a given distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder we can write that:

$\Phi = E \cdot 2\pi r \cdot L$

Joining both our expressions we can get that:

$E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}$

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y = 10.44cos(2t - 0.291) cm

Explanation:

y = Acos(2πt/T + φ) = Acos(2πt/π + φ) = Acos(2t + φ)

v = y' = -2Αsin(2t + φ)

10 = Acos(2(0) + φ) = Acosφ

6 = -2Αsin(2(0) + φ) = -2Asinφ

6/10 = -2Asinφ/Acosφ = -2tanφ

tanφ = -0.3

φ = -0.291 radians

10 = Acos(-0.291)

A = 10/cos(-0.291) = 10.44

Gravitational Force: Two small objects, with masses m and M, are originally a distance r apart, and the magnitude of the gravita

Alona [7]

Law of universal gravitation:

F = GMm/r²

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, M & m = masses of the objects, r = distance between the objects

F is proportional to both M and m:

F ∝ M, F ∝ m

F is proportional to the inverse square of r:

F ∝ 1/r²

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in M:

k₁ = 2M/M = 2

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in m:

k₂ = 2m/m = 2

Calculate the scaling factor of F due to the change in r:

k₃ = 1/(4r/r)² = 1/16

Multiply the original force F by the scaling factors to obtain the new force:

Fk₁k₂k₃

= F(2)(2)(1/16)

= F/4
