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

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.

Calculate the electric field strength at a point at which a test charge of 0.30 coulombs experiences a force of 5.0 newtons.
SVEN [57.7K]

The strength of electric field E is 17 N / C.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electric field strength is defined as the force per unit charge acting at a point in the given field. The equation for the strength of the electric field is given by

                     E = F / q

where E represents the electric field strength,

           F represents the force in newton,

           q represents the charge in coulomb.

Given the charge q = 0.30 coulombs

                   force F = 5.0 N

Electric field strength E = force / charge

                                        = 5.0 / 0.30

                                    E  = 16.66 = 17 N / C.
