Answer: 114

Explanation:

Osmium: It is hard, brittle transition metal.

Chemical symbol: Os

Atomic number, Z = 76

Number of protons = Atomic number = 76

Mass Number, A = 190.23 ≈ 190

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

⇒190 = 76 + n

⇒n = 190 - 76

⇒n = 114

Thus, the atomic number of an atom of Osmium is 114.

Answer: 114

Explanation:

The mass number of an element gives the sum of the protons and the neutrons inside the nucleus of one atom of that element, while the atomic number of an element gives the number of protons inside one atom of that element.

We can infer the number of neutrons inside one atom of Osmium from its mass number and atomic number.

The atomic number of osmium is 76, so each atom of osmium has 76 protons

The (average) mass number of osmium is 190, so each atom of osmium has (on average) 190 protons+neutrons

So, in order to find the average number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the mass number:

$N=A-Z=190-76=114$

Distinguish

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.

A heavy anvil is suspended by a 0.75 m long steel wire that has a mass of 12 g. When the wire is plucked, it hums at its fundame

Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{2l}$

v is the speed of the mass

Speed is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$\mu$ is the mass per unit length, $\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

T is the tension in the wire,

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{Tl}{m}}$

$T=4f^2lm$

$T=4(120)^2\times 0.75\times 0.012$

T = 518.4 N

Tension in the wire, T = m' g

$m'=\dfrac{T}{g}$

$m'=\dfrac{518.4}{9.8}$

m' = 52.89 kg

So, the mass of the anvil is 52.89 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Molecules speed up

Explanation:

This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them
