Does the nuclear mass or the charge of the nucleus determine what element an atom is?

Physics

Answer:

All atoms have a dense central core called the atomic nucleus. Forming the nucleus are two kinds of particles: protons. which have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. All atoms have at least one proton in their core, and the number of proton determines which kind of element an atom is

Explanation:

Neither the mass alone nor the charge alone tells you what element the atom's nucleus is.

The only charged particles in the nucleus are the protons, which are positively charged.  So every atom has a positively charged nucleus. The <em>NUMBER of protons in the nucleus</em> is the unique thing about each element.

It's not the mass, because there are also neutrons in the nucleus. A neutron has the same mass as a proton has, but no charge. AND, just to make it a little more complicated, every element can have atoms with a few <u><em>different</em></u> numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, so atoms of that element can have a few different masses. (These are called "isotopes" of that element.)

Bottom line:

-- The element is identified by the number of protons in the nucleus.

-- The nuclear charge is positive (that number), and

-- The nuclear mass is (that number) + (the number of neutrons in it).

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

Gold - Au (Aurum)

Mercury - Hg (Hydrargyrum)

Copper - Cu (Cuprum)

Iron - Fe (Ferrum)

Lead - Pb (Plumbum)

These elements in the periodic table are some of the elements represented by letters not in line with their names.

This is because, these elements were known in ancient times and therefore, they are represented by letters from their ancient names.

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the
pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

(c) The work, necessary to stretch the spring from x = 0 to x3 is 64.28 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2)  =  ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2)  = 11.25 J

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0  to 3) = 64.28 J

) Un círculo de 120 cm de radio gira a 600 rpm. Calcula: a) su velocidad angular
DIA [1.3K]

Responder:

20πrads ^ -1; 24πrads ^ -1; 0,1 seg; 10 Hz

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Radio (r) del círculo = 120 cm

600 revoluciones por minuto en radianes por segundo

(600 / min) * (2π rad / 1 rev) * (1min / 60seg)

(1200πrad / 60sec) = 20π rad ^ -1

Velocidad angular (w) = 20πrads ^ -1

Velocidad lineal = radio (r) * velocidad angular (w)

Velocidad lineal = (120/100) * 20πrad

Velocidad lineal = 1.2 * 20πrads ^ -1 = 24πrads ^ -1

C.) Período (T):

T = 2π / w = 2π / 20π = 0.1 seg

D.) Frecuencia (f):

f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.1

1 / 0,1 = 10 Hz

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.21 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
White raven [17]

Answer:

refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.

Explanation:

μ₁ = 1.21

incidence angle (i) = 41.9°

refraction angle (r) = 37.3°

Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material

according to snell's law of refraction.

μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r

1.21 × sin 41.9° =  μ × sin 37.3°

μ = 1.33

hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
