Answer:

B. 14

Explanation:

For an element:

- Atomic number: is the number of protons in the nucleus (p)

- Mass number: it is the number of protons (p) + neutrons (n) in the nucleus

For Al (aluminium), we have:

p = 13

p + n = 27

Substituting the first equation into the second one, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 27 - p = 27 - 13 = 14

Why is it important to consider experimental error in all the empirical results presented?

NemiM [27]

Because when your running any experiment there will always be an experimental error so always be ready for it so that you can correct that error in your experiment

A cosmic ray proton moving toward the Earth at 5.00 10 m/s 7 × experiences a magnetic force of 1.70 10 N −16 × . What is the str

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be equal to $B=3\times 10^{-5}T$

Explanation:

We have given velocity of proton $5\times 10^7m/sec$

Magnetic force experienced by proton $F=1.7\times 10^{-16}N$

Charge on proton $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Angle between field and velocity $\Theta =45^{\circ}$

Force in magnetic field is equal to $F=qBVsin\Theta$

So $1.7\times 10^{-16}=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^7\times B\times sin45^{\circ}$

$B=3\times 10^{-5}T$

So magnetic field will be equal to $B=3\times 10^{-5}T$

This same experiment is performed on the international space station. What is the primary issue with performing this experiment

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Difference in experimental data.

Explanation:

There is difference of experimental value between the experiment that is performed on the earth and on the international space station because presence of gravity. The result of the experiment on the earth is different due to the presence of gravity that contributes in the result of the experiment as compared to international space station where no gravity is present so there is high difference of the numerical value of the result of both experiments of earth and international space station.
