The name is fluorine-19.

Usually, in the names of isotopes, we say the name of the element followed the mass number (eg. Carbon-12). The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of that atom. Electrons are not included since they're too light compared to protons and neutrons.

Therefore, to find out the name of the isotope, we have to find the mass number. Add up 9 and 10, which makes 19, so, the answer is fluorine-19.

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

Cerrena [4.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

$R= 6370*10^3 m$

$v = 239m/s$

$a = 16.5m/s^2$

The circumference of the earth would be

$\phi = 2\pi R$

Velocity is defined as,

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

Here $x = \phi$ , then

$t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{239}$

$t = 167463.97s$

Therefore will take 167463.97 s or 1 day 22 hours 31 minutes and 3.97seconds

He graph below shows the velocity f(t) of a runner during a certain time interval:

Annette [7]

<span>The following that describes the intercepts on the graph is "The initial velocity of the runner was 4 m/s, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds." It is because the starting point of the line is at 4 and then the ending point is at 8.
