Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.            

The mass number is given by:              

A = p + n

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14

A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15

Hence, they have a different mass number.  

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is ^{14}_{7}N and the second isotope is ^{15}_{7}N. Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).  

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

r₂=0.1 m

Explanation:

Given that

r₁= 10 m  , β₁ = 20 dB

At r₂ ,β₂= 60 dB

As we know that intensity level of sound given as

\beta =10\ log\dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

\beta _1=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

20=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

10² x 10⁻¹² = I₁

I₁=10⁻¹⁰ W/m²

\beta _2=10\ log\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}

60=10\ log\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}

10⁶ x  10⁻¹² = I₂

I₂ = 10⁻⁶ W/m²

I₁=10⁻¹⁰ W/m²

P = I A

P=Power ,I =Intensity  ,A=Area

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r^2_2}{r^2_1}

\dfrac{10^{-10}}{10^{-6}}=\dfrac{r^2_2}{10^2}

r₂=0.1 m

The principle of resistance training that suggests that muscles should be gradually required to do more than they are used to do
nadya68 [22]
The principle of resistance training that suggests that muscles should be gradually required to do more than they are used to doing is D. OVERLOAD.

The principle of overload states that a greater than normal stress or load on the body is required for training adaptation to take place.

Overload refers to the amount of load or resistance, providing a greater stress, or load, on the body than it is normally accustomed to in order to increase fitness.

A bare helium nucleus has two positive charges and a mass of 6.64×10−27kg(a) Calculate its kinetic energy in joules at 2.00% of
grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to kinetic energy and energy conservation. The kinetic energy will be expressed in terms of mass and speed, as well as load and voltage. From this last expression we will find the charges by electron and by Helium nucleus.

a ) Kinetic Energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Replacing with our values we have that

KE = \frac{1}{2} (6.64*10^{-27})(2.0\% (3.00*10^8))^2

KE = 1.1935*10^{-13}J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is 1.1935*10^{-13}J

PART B) Now for calculate the electron volts we use the kinetic energy as a expression between the charge and the voltage, that is

KE = qV

Here,

q = Charge of an electron

V = Voltage

Rearranging to find the potential we have,

V = \frac{KE}{q}

V = \frac{1.19*10^{-13}}{1.6*10^{-19}}

V = 743750eV

Therefore the kinetic energy in electron vols is 743750eV

PART C) Applying the same relationship but now using the Helium core load, we will have to

KE = QV

Here,

Q = Charge of a helium nucleus

V = Voltage

Rearranging to find the potential we have

V = \frac{KE}{Q}

But we need to note that the charge is equal to the number of charge for the unit charge, then

Q = \text{No. Charge} \times \text{Unit Charge}

Q = (2)(1.6*10^{-19}C)

Q = 3.2*10^{-19}C

Now replacing we have that

V= \frac{1.19*10^{-13}}{32*10^{-19}}

V = 371875V

Therefore the voltage applied is  371875V

The width of the central maximum is defined as the distance between the two minima closest to the center of the diffraction patt
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The value of the angle is \bf{ \sin^{-1}[h/am_{e}v]}.

Explanation:

Given:

The condition for diffraction minima is

a \sin \theta = m \lambda~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)

where, a is the slit-width, \theta is the angle of incidence, m is the order number and \lambda is the wavelength of the light.

The wavelength of an electron traveling through a medium is governed by de Broglie's hypothesis.

According to de Broglie's hypothesis

\lambda &=& \dfrac{h}{p}\\               &=& \dfrac{h}{m_{e}v}

Here, h is Planck's constant, m_{e} is the mass of the electron and v is the velocity of the electron.

For first minimum m = 1.

From equation (1), we have

&& a \sin \theta = \dfrac{h}{m_{e}v}\\&or,& \theta = \sin^{-1}[\dfrac{h}{am_{e}v}]
