A. Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Explanation:

Atoms are identified by using two numbers:

- Atomic number: it is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. It is labelled with the letter Z, so that

Z = p (1)

Where p is the number of protons.

- Mass number: it is equal to the number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. It is labelled with the letter A, so that

A = p + n (2)

where n is the number of neutrons.

When using atomic mass units (a.m.u.), the mass of each nucleon (proton or neutron) is 1 a.m.u, so the mass number also corresponds to the mass number.

From eq.(2), we can rewrite the number of neutrons as:

n = A - p

And substituting A from eq.(1), we find

n = A - Z

So the correct choice is

A. Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

A 2.51 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 1.19 m long string. The height of the room is 3.45 m. The acceleration of gravity i
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

55,42 J

Explanation:

Since the height of the room is 3.45 m (distance between the floor and the ceiling) the difference between this value and the length of the rope 1.19 m; it will be equal to (3.45-1.19) =2.26 m. If we take as a reference point (Ep=0) the floor of the room, then the potential energy will be equal to Ep = M * g * h, replacing values in this equation (2.5 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 2.26 m) will be 55,42 (N * m) or Jules.

If a light is moved twice (2x) as far from a surface, the area the light covers is ___ as big.
Serga [27]

Answer:

The correct option is;

- 4x

Explanation:

From the inverse square law, as the distance from the source of a physical quantity increases, the intensity of the source is spread over an area proportional to the square of the distance of the object from the source

The inverse square law can be presented as follows;

I = \dfrac{S}{4\times \pi \times  r^2 }

As the distance, r, increases, the surface it covers also increases by the power of 2

Therefore, where the distance increases from r to 2·r, we have;

When, I, remain constant

I = \dfrac{4\times S}{4\times \pi \times  (2\cdot r)^2 } = I = \dfrac{4\times S}{4\times 4\times \pi \times  r^2 } =  \dfrac{S}{4\times \pi \times  r^2 }

The surface increases to 4·S by the inverse square law

Therefore, the correct option is 4 × x.

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

299.88 kgm²/s

499.758 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.63 m

I = Moment of inertia = 196 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 1.53 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.2 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=196\times 1.53\\\Rightarrow L=299.88\ kgm^2/s

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 299.88 kgm²/s

Angular momentum is given by

L=mvR\\\Rightarrow L=73\times 4.2\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=499.758\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round is 499.758 kgm²/s
