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

A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w
alexdok [17]
Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.

2.1) (i) W = mg downwards
(ii) N = R = Normal Reaction from the ground upwards
(iii) Fe = Force of engine towards the right
(iv) f = friction towards the left
(v) ma = Constant acceleration towards right.
2.2.1)
v = 25 m/s
u = 0 m/s
∆v = v - u = (25 - 0) m/s = 25 m/s
x = X
∆t = 50 s
a \:  =  \:  \frac{dv}{dt}  \:  =  \:  \frac{25 \:  \frac{m}{s} }{50 \: s} \:  =  \: 0.5 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }
a = 0.5 m/s².
2.2.2)
F = ma = 900 kg × 0.5 m/s² = 450 N.
2.2.3)
2ax \:  =  \:  {v}^{2}  \:  -  \:  {u}^{2}
x \:  =  \:  \frac{ {v}^{2}  \:   -  \:  {u}^{2} }{2a}  \:  =  \:   \frac{{(25 \:  \frac{m}{s})}^{2}  \:  -  \:  {(0 \:  \frac{m}{s} )}^{2} }{2 \:  \times  \: 0.5 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } } \:  =  \: 625 \: m
2.3)
Fe = f + ma
Fe - f = ma
For velocity to be constant,
a should be 0, or, a = 0,
Fe = f = 270 N
2.4.1)
v = 0
u = 25 m/s
a = -0.5 m/s²
v = u + at
t = -u/a = -(25)/(-0.5) = 50 s.
2.4.2)
x = -625/(2×(-0.5)) = 625 m.
