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

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).

What is the likely identity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5 g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 60.2 g when
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sample = 63.5 g

Mass of water = 60.2 g

Find:

Object

Computation:

Mass of water displaced = 63.5 g - 60.2 g

Mass of water displaced = 3.3 g

So, volume in water = 3.3 cm³

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 63.5 g / 3.3

Density = 19.24

So,

Object ,must be gold.

what is the mass of a cannon ball if a force 2500 N gives the cannon ball an acceleration of 200 m/s squared?
nignag [31]

Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ;  [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)


Given:                      Find:                   Formula:                  Solve for m:

F: 2500N                 mass:?                F=ma Eq.1              m=F/a  Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2  


Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C
Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

E_{in}=mC\Delta T

where:

m is the amount of water

C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=10^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg
