Answer :The mass number is 56.

Explanation:

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 26+ 30 =56

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 26

Hence, neutrons and protons affects the mass number and thus the mass number will be 56.

When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude f = ax, where a is a constant. th

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a = constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
$W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2} [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} = \frac{aL^{2}}{2}$

Answer: $\frac{aL^{2}}{2}$

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

$v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0$
