Answer: B) the charge of the oxygen atom changes

Explanation: Neutron is a subatomic particle which is neutral and bears no charge but has significant mass.

Isotopes are elements which have same atomic number but different mass number.

As the neutrons are added, the mass number of the element changes and thus an isotope of oxygen will be formed.

The charge will not change as the neutrons are neutral in nature.

B. The charge of the oxygen atom changes
This is because the neutron does not carry any electrical charge, so the charge should be unaffected.

The protective device that switches off if the circuit overloads is a _______.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

E.) Circuit Breaker is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Circuit Breaker is an automated electrical device that is designed to control and stop the excessive current flowing if the crosses a particular level and it protects the electrical circuit from the damage that can be caused due to overload of current that is the reason Circuit Breaker is called protective device.

There are different types of circuit breakers such as oil circuit breaker, vacuum circuit breaker, outdoor circuit breaker, Spring operated circuit breaker, Hydraulic circuit breaker and Medium-voltage circuit breaker, etc.

What frequency is received by the ambulance after reflecting from a wall near the person watching the oncoming ambulance (as in

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

f=896Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Vs(speed of the ambulance)={(104 km/h)*(1000m*(1 h/3600)}=28.9m/s

f(frequency of the ambulance siren)=821 Hz

v(speed of sound)=345 m/s

Vo(speed of the observer)=0 m/s

To find

f(The ambulance is approaching the person)

Solution

From Doppler effect

$f^{i}=(\frac{v+v_{o} }{v-v_{s} })f$

As the ambulance approaches the we assign a positive sign for speed "vs" of the ambulance

$f^{i}=(\frac{v+0}{v-(+v_{s}) } )f\\f^{i}=(\frac{v}{v-v_{s} } )f$

Substitute the values from given data

$f^{i}=(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-28.9m/s} )821Hz\\f^{i}=896Hz$

Write the differential equation that governs the motion of the damped mass-spring system, and find the solution that satisfies t

melisa1 [442]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Write the differential equation that governs the motion of the damped mass-spring system, and find the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified. Units are mks; γ is the damping coefficient, with units of kg/sec

m = 0.2, γ = 1.6 and k = 4

Initial displacement is 1 and initial velocity is -2

x" + _____ x' ____x = 0

x(t) =

Answer:

the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;

x(t) = $c_1e^{-4t}cos(2t)$ + $c_2e^{-4t}sin(2t)$

Explanation:

Given the data in the question ;

m = 0.2, γ = 1.6, k = 4

x(0) = 1, x'(0) = -2

Now, the differential equation that governs the motions of spring mass system is;

mx" + γx' + kx = 0

so we substitute

0.2x" + 1.6x' + 4x = 0

divide through by 0.2

x" + 8x' + 20x = 0

hence, characteristics equation will be;

m² + 8m + 20 = 0

we find m using; x = [ -b±√(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

m = [ -8 ± √((8)² - 4(1 × 20 )) ] / 2(1)

m = [ -8 ± √( 64 - 80 ) ] / 2

m = [ -8 ± √-16 ) ] / 2

m = ( -8 ± 4i ) / 2

m = -4 ± 2i

Hence, the general solution of the differential equation is;

x(t) = $c_1e^{-4t}cos(2t)$ + $c_2e^{-4t}sin(2t)$

From the initial conditions;

c₁ = 1, c₂ = 1

the solution that satisfies the initial conditions specified is;

x(t) = $c_1e^{-4t}cos(2t)$ + $c_2e^{-4t}sin(2t)$

A spring has a spring constant of 81 N · m−1. What is the force (in N) required to do the following? (Enter the magnitude.) (a)

DochEvi [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, k = 81 N/m

We need to find the force required to :

(a) Compress the spring by 6 cm i.e. x₁ = 6 cm = -0.06 m

It can be calculated using Hooke's law as :

F = - k(-x₁)

$F=81\ N/m\times 0.06\ m$

F = 4.86 N

(b) Expand the spring by 17 cm i.e. x₂ = 17 cm = +0.17 m

So, F = -kx₂

$F=-81\ N/m\times 0.17\ m$

F = -13.77 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Write a hypothesis about the effect of the wavelength on the diffraction angle. Use the "if . . . then . . . because . . ." form

adell [148]

A) Wavelength is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or the distance between two successful compressions or rarefactions in a longitudinal wave. if the wavelength of a wave is long then the wave will diffracts more compared to a wave with a shorter wavelength because the size of the wavelength is proportional to the angle of diffraction. Such that if the gap is larger than the wavelength then the wave passes through the gap and does not spread much on the other side, while when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread greatly out.

b) Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a wave encounters an obstacles or a slit. It is referred to as the bending of light around corners of an obstacles or aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle. It is caused by one wave of light is shifted by the diffracting object which will in turn cause the wave to have interference with itself. (either constructive or destructive)
