E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.
Answer:
Six meters refers to the distance the baseball travels in one second.
Explanation:
6 m/s means that every second, the baseball travels 6m. So, 6 meters is the distance traveled in one second.
Answer:
3.75 MeV
Explanation:
The energy of the photon can be given in terms of frequency as:
E = h * f
Where h = Planck's constant
The frequency of the photon is 6 * 10^20 Hz.
The energy (in Joules) is:
E = 6.63 x10^(-34) * 6 * 10^(20)
E = 39.78 * 10^(-14) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) J
We are given that:
1 eV = 1.06 * 10^(-19) Joules
This means that 1 Joule will be:
1 J = 1 / (1.06 * 10^(-19)
1 J = 9.434 * 10^(18) eV
=> 3.978 * 10^(-13) J = 3.978 * 10^(-13) * 9.434 * 10^(18) = 3.75 * 10^(6) eV
This is the same as 3.75 MeV.
The correct answer is not in the options, but the closest to it is option C.
Answer: The correct explanation is 2.
Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.
On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.
