Compare the properties of electrons,neutrons and protons

1 answer:

3 0

Here is the comparison of the properties of electrons, neutrons and protons:
<span>Electrons are negatively-charged particles and are found outside the nucleus of the atom, They interact with other electrons of other atoms that result to different properties of atoms. They also determine the charge of the atom, or more preferably, the ion. For a neutral atom, they have the same number as that of the protons. Protons are positively-charged particles and are found inside the nucleus along with the neutrons. Protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons. Protons determine the atomic number of the atom. Neutrons, on the other hand, are neutrally-charged particles and are found inside the nucleus. Along with the proton, they constitute the mass of the whole atom. Atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes.</span>

Where on this diagram does the ball have the highest point of gravitational potential energy?

mixer [17]

It should be at the very top since it has more space to fall which gives it more potential energy

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

A point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

Explanation:

We can find the distance with the following equation since the acceleration is cero (the disk rotates at a constant rate):

$d = v*t$

Where:

v: is the tangential speed of the disk

t: is the time = 30 s

The tangential speed can be found as follows:

$v = \omega*r$

Where:

ω: is the angular speed = 100 rpm

r: is the radius = 50 cm = 0.50 m

$v = \omega*r = 100 \frac{rev}{min}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}*\frac{1 min}{60 s}*0.50 m = 5.24 m/s$

Now, the distance traveled by the disk is:

$d = v*t = 5.24 m/s*30 s = 157.2 m$

Therefore, a point on the outside rim will travel 157.2 meters during 30 seconds of rotation.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.

Calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting.

kogti [31]

As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy $w = mg$ [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

=490 N kg m/s^2

= 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
