Answer:

92; 146

Explanation:

Uranium has 92 protons, and 238 is the mass number of the element. The mass number is the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an element.

Thus, 238 = 92 + neutrons

neutrons = 238 - 92

= 146

Hope this helps!

Answer:

92 protons, 146 neutrons

Explanation:

Uranium will always have the same amount of protons, because that is what defines the element. Uranium has 92 protons, meaning that the rest of the mass of the atom comes from neutrons. 238-92=146 neutrons. Hope this helps!

The primary difference between a barometer and a manometer is

Nitella [24]

Answer:

a barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, and a manometer is used to measure gauge pressure.

Explanation:

A barometer measures air pressure at any locality with sea level as the reference.

However, a manometer is used to measure all pressures especially gauge pressures. Thus, if the aim is to measure the pressure at any point below a fluid surface, a barometer is used to determine the air pressure. The manometer may now be used to determine the gauge pressure

The algebraic sum of these two values gives the absolute pressure.

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero

F - Force

T = Tension

m = mass

a = acceleration

g = gravitational force

Let the given Normal on block 2 = N

and $N = m_2 g \cos \theta$
