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.

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

explain why if charge cannot be created or destroyed, electrically neutral objects can become electrically charged

natali 33 [55]

Charge is actually either excessive number or electrons or shortage of them.
as you can't destroy the electron or create it - you can't destroy or create charge

Force → F = ( − 8.0 N ) ˆ i + ( 6.0 N ) ˆ j acts on a particle with position vector → r = ( 3.0 m ) ˆ i + ( 4.0 m ) ˆ j . What a

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, $F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j$

Position vector, $r=(3i+4j)\ m$

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

$\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m$

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

$F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}$
