An atom of a certain element has 36 protons, 36 electrons, and a mass number of 84. At room temperature, this element is a very

Grace [21]

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

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude and frequency along close parallel lines. They pass each othe

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

$I=Ft$

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

$I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns$
