What does it mean to say that the protons give the atom is identity

The number of protons tells you what element an atom is. Just knowing the number of neutrons/mass number does not tell you what element an atom is, since atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers. But all atoms with the same number of protons, are also always of the same element.

Hence, we can identify an atom by the number of protons it has

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth

According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat
melomori [17]
The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s?
larisa86 [58]

As per the question, the distance travelled by bobsled [s] = 100 m

The time taken by the bobsled to travel that distance [t] = 25 s

We are asked to calculate the speed of the bobsled.

The speed of the bobsled is calculated as -

                                            speed\ =\ \frac{distance}{time}

                                            v\ =\ \frac{s}{t}

                                                   =\frac{100\ m}{25\ s}

                                                   =\ 4\ m/s

Hence, the correct answer to the question is A. 4 m/s.
