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

Physics

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

Hey, what is antimatter
jenyasd209 [6]
A antimatter is particle physics, antimatter is a material composed of the antiparticle "partners" to the corresponding particles of ordinary matter. A particle and its antiparticle have the same mass as one another, but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers.

A transformer has a primary coil with 106 turns and a secondary coil of 340 turns. The AC voltage across the primary coil has a
UkoKoshka [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to transformers, that is to say passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to one or more circuits.

From the mathematical definition we have that the relationship between the voltage of the first coil and the second coil is proportional to the number of loops of the first and second loop, that is:

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

Where

V_p =  input voltage on the primary coil.

V_s=input voltage on the secondary coil.

N_p=  number of turns of wire on the primary coil.

N_s = number of turns of wire on the secondary  coil.

Replacing our values we have:

V_p = 128V

N_p = 106

N_s = 340

Replacing,

\frac{V_s}{128} = \frac{340}{106}

V_s = 410.56V

From the same relations of number of turns and the voltage of the first and second coil we also have the relation of electricity and voltage whereby:

V_s I_s = V_p I_p

Where

I_p= Current Primary Coil

I_s = Current secundary Coil

Therefore:

I_s = \frac{V_p I_p}{V_s}

I_s = \frac{(128)(6)}{410.56}

I_s = 1.87 A

Therefore the maximum values for the secondary coil of the voltage is 410.56V and Current is 1.87A

An object weighing 49 N is pushed across a floor by a force of 12 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object  = 49N

Force applied = 12N

Unknown:

Acceleration of object  = ?

Solution:

The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;

 Acceleration  = \frac{12}{49}   = 0.25m/s²
