Physics
2 answers:
denis-greek [22]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Atomic number of copper is 29. The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Therefore, there are 29 protons in an atom of copper. In a neutral atom, there are equal number of protons and electrons. Therefore, there are 29 electrons in a copper atom. Mass number of copper is 64.

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = mass number.

Therefore, number of neutrons = 63 -29 = 35

How can you use the density of an object to predict whether it will sink or float?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

What is the acceleration of a Porsche that can go from 15 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr in 4 seconds?
Elodia [21]

Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

The energy produced by the internal motion of atoms? electrical , thermal, chemical, nuclear
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Thermal energy, or heat, is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat increases when these particles move faster. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the earth. Motion energy is energy stored in the movement of objects. so the answer is thermal energy
