How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?

Physics

givi [52]4 years ago

Answer:

67

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.

So

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Neutrons = 90 - 23 = 67

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

  When r \ge R

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

b

 When r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius is  R  

   The  current is  I

    The  distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

       B[2 \pi r]  =  \mu_o  *  \frac{I r^2  }{R^2 }

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi }  *  \frac{r}{R^2}

When r \ge R

=>     B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

But when r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

Your own car has a mass of 2000 kg. If your car produces a force of 5000 N, how fast will it accelerate?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

2.5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 2000kg

Force produced by the car  = 5000N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is a product of mass and acceleration.

  Force  = mass x acceleration

Now, insert the parameters and find the unknown;

  5000 = 2000 x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{5000}{2000}   = 2.5m/s²

describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration for a body moving i
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a = v²/r

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body moving in a circular path is known as the centripetal acceleration. This is the acceleration of a body that keeps the body within the circular path. It is written in terms of the linear velocity v and the radius of the circle of rotation as shown;

a = v²/r where

v is the linear velocity

r is the radius

a is the centripetal acceleration

Equal currents of magnitude I travel into the page in wire M and out of the page in wire N. The direction of the magnetic field
mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The direction of the magnetic field on point P, equidistant from both wires, and having equal magnitude of current flowing through them will be pointed perpendicularly away from the direction of the wires.</em>

Explanation:

Using the right hand grip, the direction of the magnet field on the wire M is counterclockwise, and the direction of the magnetic field on wire N is clockwise. Using this ideas, we can see that the magnetic flux of both field due to the currents of the same magnitude through both wires, acting on a particle P equidistant from both wires will act in a direction perpendicularly away from both wires.

Light of wavelength 623.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 76.5 cm from the slit.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 623 x 10⁻⁹ m .

Distance of screen D = 76.5 x 10⁻² m

width of slit        =      d

Distance on the screen between the second order minimum and the central maximum       =  2  λ D / d

1.11 x 10⁻²  = (2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻² )/ d

d =  ( 2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻²) / 1.11 x 10⁻²

= 85872.97 x  10⁻⁹

=  85.87297 x  10⁻⁶

= 85.87 μm

width a of the slit is = 85.87 μm
