How many neutrons does element x have if it’s atomic number is 40 and it’s mass number is 82?

1 answer:

4 0

The atomic number gives you the number of protons element x has. Since the mass of protons and neutrons are almost similar(around 1 amu), the mass number can be thought of as the sum of protons and neutrons. so if element x whose atomic number is 40 has a mass number of 82, then we know that 42 of those must be neutrons.

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>6 bulbs</u> are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

$N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6$

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

What are the characteristics of high energy waves?

sladkih [1.3K]

<span>The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.</span>
