How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?

D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

What is neccessary for a magnetic field to create electric current in a copper coil?
Viktor [21]
A, Lenz' Law. There need to be a difference of flux, so if you use AC you will get a current too.

A uniform rod is hung at one end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 that of water, find the f
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34  

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 =  X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + (\frac{L-y}{2}) ) g sinФ - F2 x (\frac{L}{2}) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the  equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . 5/9 x w

Hence,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) = \frac{5L^{2} }{9}

\frac{L^{2} - y^{2}  }{L^{2} } = \frac{5}{9}

Taking L^{2} common and solving for \frac{y}{L}, we will get

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

A straight wire segment 5 m long makes an angle of 30° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the force
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 5 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T

Angle between wire and the magnetic field, \theta=30^{\circ}

Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :

F=BIL\ \sin\theta\\\\F=0.37\ T\times 2.9\ A\times 5\ m\times \ \sin(30)\\\\F=2.68\ N

So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
