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 piano of mass 852 kg is lifted to height of 3.5m how much gravitational potential energy is added to the piano acceleration du
Alex777 [14]
Gravitational potential energy added =

                   (mass) x (gravity) x (distance lifted)

                 =  (852 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (3.5 m)

                 =  (852 x 9.8 x 3.5)  kg-m²/s²

                 =        29,223.6  joules

How might observations of the sun's outermost layers reveal what's happening in the interior? and how could this information be
LuckyWell [14K]
A raging activity can be found in t<span>he Sun's interior, with pressure waves being produced and travelling back and forth, from the core to the surface and back to the core. By looking closely at the 'surface' we can see these "ripples".  It gives us an idea of how dense the material was that the waves passed through. In a way, this can help to predict solar storms in the future.</span>

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica?
Anna71 [15]

OPTIONS :

A.) the force that the ball exerts on the wall

B.) the frictional force between the wall and the ball

C.) the acceleration of the ball as it approaches the wall

D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Answer: D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation: The normal force acting on an object can be explained as a force experienced by an object when it comes in contact with a flat surface. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

In the scenario described above, Erica's tennis ball experiences an opposite reaction after hitting the wall.This is in relation to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction force in this case is the normal force exerted on the ball by the wall perpendicular to the surface of contact.
