Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many neutrons, on average, are in an atom of osmium?

Physics

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

Radda [10]

Answer:

a)    h = 8.02 10³ m  b) yes

Explanation:

a) The pressure in a fluid is given by

      P = ρ g h

The pressure in this case is the atmospheric pressure, 1.013 105 Pa, let's clear the height (h)

      h = P / ρ g

      h = 1.013 10⁵ / (1.29 9.8)

      h = 8.02 10³ m

b) The height of Mount Everest is 8848 m

It is above this height, according to this model there would be no air to breathe

Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se
avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t

where

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s  is the change in velocity

\Delta t = 0.5 s  is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const
polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W
