Answer:

A. elements of the same kind with different numbers of neutrons

Explanation:

As we know that an atom is represented by

$_z^AX$

here we know that

z = atomic number

A = atomic number + number of neutrons

now if the number of neutrons in an atom is different but having same number atomic number then the combination of such group of atoms is known as isotopes.

So here we have

$_z^{A_1}X, _z^{A_2}X$

so above is the example of isotopes

A pair of parallel plates, forming a capacitor, are charged. The plates are pulled apart to double the original separation, the

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The final energy will be halved of the original energy.

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance,

C = εA/d

C = capacitance

A = area of plate

d = distance or separation between the plates

ε = permitivity of dielectric material

As you can see from the formula that the capacitance ( ability of the capacitor to store charge) is inversaly proportional to the separation of the plates. If all the other factors kept constant then increasing the distance between the plates will decrease the ability of the capacitor to store energy. So we can say that by doubling the separation, the capacitance or energy stored will become half.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ = 12.60°

Explanation:

In order to calculate the angle below the horizontal for the velocity of the hockey puck, you need to calculate both x and y component of the velocity of the puck, and also you need to use the following formula:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$ (1)
