The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.
17 - 6 = 11
There are 11 protons in this unknown element.
Extra:
The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.
Hope this helps! :)
A pure substance that is made up of only one kind of atom is called an element
Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.
The increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.
<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>
The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.
The potential energy increases by 3773 J
PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)
3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)
(h₂-h₁) = 10.98
Case 2 ;
ΔPE =?
ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)
ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98
ΔPE=6031.97 J.
Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.
