Describe the composition of the nucleus of an atom.

Physics

Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. This was discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the gold foil experiment.

These baryons are further made up of sub-atomic fundamental particles known as quarks joined by the strong interaction.

Nuclei are bound together by the residual strong force (nuclear force). This force or baryon is much weaker between neutrons and protons because it is mostly neutralized within them, in the same way that electromagnetic forces between neutral atoms (such as van der Waals forces that act between two inert gas atoms) are much weaker than the electromagnetic forces that hold the parts of the atoms together internally.

Answer:

Explanation:the atom consists of a tiny nucleus at its center which is surrounded by a moving electrons. The nucleus contains a positively charged proton equal in size with the negatively charged electrons . The nucleus also may contain neutrons which have the same mass with the protons but no charge is neutral.

Suppose you pour 0.250 kg of 20.0°C water into a 0.600 kg aluminum pan off the stove with a temperature of 173°C. Assume that th
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of water, m_w=0.25\ kg
  • initial temperature of water, T_i_w=20^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of pan, T_i_p=173^{\circ}C
  • mass of pan, m_p=0.6\ kg
  • mass of water evapourated, m_v=0.03\ kg
  • specific heat of water, c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • specific heat of aluminium pan, c_a=900\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • latent heat of vapourization, L=2256000\ J.kg^{-1}

<u>Using the equation of heat:</u>

<em>Here, initially certain mass of water is vapourised first and then the remaining mass of water comes in thermal equilibrium with the pan.</em>

m_p.c_a.(T_{ip}-T_f)=m_v.L+(m_w-m_v).c_w.(T_f-T_{iw})

0.6\times 900\times (173-T_f)=0.03\times 2256000+(0.25-0.03)\times 4186\times (T_f-20)

T_f=5.0116^{\circ}C

A rectangular piece of​ cardboard, whose area is 352 square​ centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2​-centimeter sq
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

xy=352

y=\dfrac{352}{x} -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432

x^2-38x+352=0

(x-16)(x-22)=0

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22

For x = 22

y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.
