What effect would adding additional neutrons have on the forces in a nucleus?

Physics

snow_tiger [21]4 years ago

Answer:

Force in nucleus will increase

Explanation:

As we know that all subatomic particles that is neutrons and protons are bounded together by strong nuclear force inside the nucleus as the distance between them is very small.

Since the Electrostatic force between protons is very small or negligible as we compare it with nuclear force so here we can say that if we add more number of protons in an atom then the repulsion force between them will increase and this will lead to decrease in stability of nucleus.

While if more number of neutrons are added in the nucleus then in that case there is no electrostatic force between then as they are neutral so that will lead to increase in more nuclear force which will increase the stability of nucleus.

If you take any large nucleus and add protons to it, the electrostatic repulsion between them will make the nucleus more unstable, because the electrostatic force between them is more repulsive at a greater distance than the strong force is attractive

So how come if you add more neutrons, which don't have a charge and so there is no electrostatic force, the nucleus still becomes more unstable?

Also why aren't there groups of neutrons bound together, so purely neutron nuclei (because they are neutral, I'm guessing they couldn't form atoms, because of the electrons needed for an atom)

Which force best represents Fg?
givi [52]

The weight of a barbell acting on a weightlifter in 80 N represents Fg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force exerted due to earth's gravity is represented as Fg. The gravitational pull is experienced by the mass of object has some force attached to by it which is called as force due to gravity.

The force is dependent upon the mass of the object experiencing the force. Hence the weight of a barbell acting on a weightlifter 80 N is the best example for Fg.

A 0.07-kg lead bullet traveling 258 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all of the bullet's energy is converted t
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

temperature change is 262.06°K

Explanation:

given data

mass = 0.07 kg

velocity = 258 m/s

to find out

what is its temperature change

solution

we know here

heat change Q is is equal to kinetic energy that is

KE = 0.5 × m× v²   ...........1

here m is mass and v is velocity

KE = 0.5 × 0.07 × 258²

KE = 2329.74 J

and we know

Q = mC∆t     .................2

here m is mass and ∆t is change in temperature and C is 127J/kg-K

so put here all value

2329.74 = 0.07 × 127 × ∆t

∆t = 262.06

so temperature change is 262.06°K

Which type of surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy?
Len [333]
<span>light colored and smooth surface would most likely be the best reflector of electromagnetic energy.Light, shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of radiation and they will allow the waves to reflect and bounce off rather than absorb. we can consider mirror as the example ,it will only reflect the light energy falling on them and it will not absorb. The darker coloured and rough surfaced substances will definitely absorb some amount of light falling on it. so light coloured smooth or shiny surfaced material would be the best reflector for electromagnetic energy.</span>

How does the number of neutrinos passing through your body at night compare with the number passing through your body during the
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

c)While the amount of neutrinos passing through the Earth does not change much, there is something that changes to you at night. You stop moving and sleep for several hours.  

Think of Neutrinos like rain. During the day you can avoid rain, and run from one dry spot to another(like from a car to a house). At night, however, your asleep, so the rain will hit you for eight hours(if your sleeping outside with no tent for some reason).
