It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

Where is neon found in earth? South America? North America?
givi [52]
Neon is usually found in the form of a gas with molecules consisting of a single Neon atom. Neon is a rare gas that is found in the Earth's<span> atmosphere at 1 part in 65,000. I'm not 100% sure but i am pretty sure it is found in both places but more is in South America. Just incase, wait for someone else to answer.</span>

You have a mass of 54 kg and are sitting on a stool. The normal force the stool applies on you is ...
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

529.2 N

Explanation:

As we have studied the first law of motion, which states that every action has some reaction, equal in magnitude but having an opposite direction.

The force that is acting on the student will be due to gravitational force, that is equal to his weight.

                                              F=mg: 54kg x 9.8m/s^2 =529.2 N

So the weight of student is exerting downwards towards the stool and land. The stool will also exert a force on the student that will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, then it will be 529.2 N.

This is because the student is sitting in a constant state and all the weight is exerted on the stool.

Note: This answer is very generic supposing that all the weight of the student is on stool. But, if we suppose that student's legs are on floor so it means the force of gravity acting on the stool has become less because student's mass on stool is less. So the answer would be a force somehow less than 529.2 N.  However, since the question asked normal force, it would be weight of student in general terms.

Hope it helps!

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of +1. Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Then,
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Number of proton is 11

Number of neutrons is 12

Number of electrons is 10

Explanation:

For a neutral Na, Sodium atom:

The mass number P+N = 23

Atomic number(E or P) = 11

A charged Na atom that has lost an electron is positively charged and so:

Number of proton = 11 (Still the same)

Number of neutrons = 12

Number of electrons = 11-1=10 (the atom has lost an electron)

If an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged ie P>E
