Question 13 of 20

Dominik [7]

Answer:

B. It has a central nucleus composed of 29 protons and 35 neutrons,

surrounded by an electron cloud containing 29 electrons.

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are the only subatomic particles with mass, and they are located in the nucleus. If this atom has an atomic number of 29 and is copper, it must have 29 protons (protons define which element is being observed). This means all remaining mass is from neutrons. 64-29 = 35.

Electrons have no mass and orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud. Since this copper atom is neutral (we are not told it has a charge), there must be an equal number of protons and electrons.

Dr Tony Allision hypothesize that the sickle cell disease is connected with malaria. The disease carried by the mosquito is more common in coastal area and near Lake Victoria while it is less common in the highlands. He made a further hypothesis that sickle cell disease is common in areas where malaria is also common.

A 5.0-μC charge is placed at the 0 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0 μC charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. At what point on a

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.

Explanation:

Given that

q₁ = 5 μ C

q₂ = - 4 μ C

The distance between charges = 50 cm

d= 50 cm

Lets take at distance x from the charge μ C ,the electrical field is zero.

That is why the distance from the charge - 4 μ C = 50 - x cm

We know that ,electric field is given as

$E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}$

$K\dfrac{5\ \mu}{x^2}=K\dfrac{4\mu }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\dfrac{5}{x^2}=\dfrac{4 }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\\5(50-x)^2=4x^2\\(50-x)^2=0.8x^2\\\\50-x =0.89x\\\ x=\dfrac{50}{1.89}\ cm\\\\\\x=26.45\ cm\\$

Therefore the distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is

andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

$Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\$

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater = 300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

$(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\$
