Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:  

     

Explanation:

A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. A current carrying coil is placed between electromagnets. A magnetic force is exerted on the coil which makes it rotate. The direction of current changes twice during the rotation of the coil. An outside source of electric current is used.

Thus, the wrong statement is D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is the generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s

So the sum is:

t_{total}=1111.0s

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.
