Do man made elements have a greater number than natural elements

1 answer:

8 0

A synthetic element is one of 24 chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth: they have been created by human manipulation of fundamental particles in a nuclear reactor, a particle accelerator, or the explosion of an atomic bomb; thus, they are called "synthetic", "artificial", or "man-made". The synthetic elements are those with atomic numbers 95–118, as shown in purple on the accompanying periodic table:[1] these 24 elements were first created between 1944 and 2010. The mechanism for the creation of a synthetic element is to force additional protons onto the nucleus of an element with an atomic number lower than 95. All synthetic elements are unstable, but they decay at a widely varying rate: their half-lives range from 15.6 million years to a few hundred microseconds.

Researchers in the Antarctic measure the temperature to be -32°F. What is this temperature on the following scales?(a) the Celsi

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a) -35.6°C

b) 237.4 K

Explanation:

To convert temperature from degree celsius to degree fahrenheit, use the formula below:

$T_c=\frac{5}{9}(T_f-32)$

a) Therefore to convert -32°F to celsius, substitute it into the celsius

$\begin{gathered} T_c=\frac{5}{9}(-32-32) \\ \\ T_c=\frac{5}{9}(-64) \\ \\ T_c=-35.6^0C \end{gathered}$

b) To covert to the Kelvin scale, use the formula below

$\begin{gathered} T_k=T_c+273 \\ \\ T_k=-35.6+273 \\ \\ T_k=237.4K \\ \end{gathered}$

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane

mr_godi [17]

Explanation:

Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s

After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.

The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :

$J=m(v-u)\\\\J=0.148\times (11.5-14.5) \\\\J=-0.444\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=0.444\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A compact car has a mass of 1380 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that

astraxan [27]

Answer:

A) $k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

B) $\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1380\ kg$

frequency of spring oscillation, $f=1.6\ Hz$

We knkow the formula for spring oscillation frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{m} } =2\pi.f$

$\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{1380} } =2\times \pi\times 1.6$

$k_{eq}=139469.3537\ N.m^{-1}$

Now as we know that the springs are in parallel and their stiffness constant gets added up in parallel.

<u>So, the stiffness of each spring is (as they are identical):</u>

$k=\frac{k_{eq}}{4}$

$k=\frac{139469.3537}{4}$

$k=34867.3384\ N.m^{-1}$

given that 4 passengers of mass 70 kg each are in the car, then the oscillation frequency:

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{k_{eq}}{(m+70\times 4)} }$

$\omega'=\sqrt{\frac{139469.3537}{(1380+280)} }$

$\omega'\approx84\ Hz$

Explain why frog will not look green under the red light?

IrinaVladis [17]

A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.

If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
