Answer:

the ratio of protons to neutrons

Explanation:

Nuclear stability is based on the ratio of protons to neutrons. The nuclear space is made up of protons and neutrons that occupies the nucleus of an atom.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.

For sodium, Na, the neutron/proton ratio for stability is 12/11.

Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio will be unstable.

Romeo traveled by a 900 kg horse from Manitua to Verona accelerating at the rate of 20 km/hr. With what force is Romeo moving at

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Force(Romeo moving) = 5,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of horse = 900 kg

Acceleration = 20 km/hr

Find:

Force(Romeo moving)

Computation:

Acceleration = 20 km/hr

Acceleration in m/s = 20 / 3.6 = 5.555556 m/s²

Force = m x a

Force(Romeo moving) = 900 x 5.555556

Force(Romeo moving) = 5,000 N

Describe what would happen if you rubbed a mineral with a Mohs hardness value of 7 against a mineral with a value of 5?

chubhunter [2.5K]

The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.
