Answer:

B. 18

Explanation:

An atom, which is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, further contains certain particles called SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES namely: proton, neutron and electron. In a neutral/uncharged atom, the number of proton is equal to the number of electrons. The number of protons in an atom represent its ATOMIC NUMBER.

However, the sum of the proton number and neutron number gives the MASS NUMBER i.e. mass no. = proton no. + electron no.

Hence, according to this question which states that an atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35. The neutron no. can be calculated as follows:

Neutron no. = mass no. - proton no.

Neutron no. = 35 - 17

Neutron no. = 18

The graph below represents the solar intensity measured over one day in northern Canada. What is the most likely date?
Dmitry [639]
It is important to note that the graph has 0 solar intensity for a long part of the day; around 16 hours. Only from 8 to 16 hours do we have significant sunlight.
This means that the length of day is very short during this time of the year;

The length of the day changes throughout they year; day is equal to night (12 hours each) during the solstices on March 21 and September 23 but during summer day is longer than night in the northern hemisphere; during winter it is smaller. THe smallest daylength is at December 21st (in the northern Hemisphere). This phenomenon is due to the tilt of the axis of the earth.

The correct answer is December 21; (if we talked about a place in the southern hemisphere, the answer would be March 21).

When classifying the intensity of resistance exercise during assessment, repetitions fewer than ____________ primarily measure l
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

5;15

Explanation:

Local muscular strength and local muscular endurance are two important qualities of muscle functioning. The maximum weight a muscle can lift is indicated by Local muscular strength while the number of repetitions of particular task a muscle can perform without being exhausted is indicated by local muscular endurance. These both tasks are frequently used in our daily life

For example if you can pull 50 kg weight that would be your local muscle strength and if u can pull it 20 times that would be your local muscle endurance.

While performing the the intensity of resistance exercise during assessment if you pull the 50 kg weight less than 5 times it would be considered as local muscular strength and if you pull it greater than 15 times it would be considered as local muscular endurance.
