The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.
Hope this helps.
Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part
A 69-kg petty thief wants to escape from a third-story jail window. Unfortunately, a makeshift rope made of sheets tied together can support a mass of only 58 kg.
answer:
To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2
Explanation:
<u>Calculate the magnitude of minimum acceleration at which the thief can descend </u>
we apply the relation below
Mg - T = Ma --- ( 1 )
M = 69kg
g = 9.81
T = 58 * 9.81
a = ? ( magnitude of minimum acceleration)
From equation 1
a = [ ( 69 * 9.81 ) - ( 58 * 9.81 ) ] / 69
= 1.5639 m/s^2
To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2
Radioactive decay is used to determine absolute age.
Answer:
This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:
Which change would be the most effective way to improve the validity of this experiment?
A) Increase the number of goldfish in each tank.
B) Increase the daily amount of food for each tank.
C) Create another group that is fed regular fish food.
D) Increase the number of tanks in each treatment group.
The answer is C
Explanation:
According to this question, an experiment is conducted by Trey to determine which fish food causes the most goldfish activity over a period of two weeks. In this experiment, the independent variable is the FISH FOOD which are; Swift Salmon food and Fast Flounder food. Other variables such as type of gold fish, amount of fish food, amount & type of water etc.
One of the ways to improve an experiment, which is lacking in this case is to have a CONTROL GROUP. Based on the fish foods used for each group, it is obvious that all groups in this experiment are experimental. Hence, creating another group that is fed regular fish food will serve as the CONTROL GROUP in order to compare with the experimental groups. This will improve the validity of the experiment.
Answer:
0.8976 seconds
Explanation:
The period of oscillation for the simple harmonic motion can be found using the formula ...
T = 2π√(d/g)
where d is the displacement of the spring due to the attached weight, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
__
For d = 0.20 meters, the period is ...
T = 2π√(0.20/9.8) ≈ 0.8976 . . . . seconds
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The formula for the oscillator period is usually seen as ...
T = 2π√(m/k)
where m is the mass in the system and k is the spring constant. The value of the spring constant is calculated from ...
k = mg/d
Using that in the formula, we find it simplifies to ...
