Why does the host say protons wouldn’t be able to ""handle"" being packed into the nucleus without neutrons? A. Because protons

are positively charged and like charges repel B. Because protons are neutrally charged and would require a charged particle C. Because protons are extremely large D. Because protons are positively charged and like charges attract

Answer:

A. Because protons are positively charged and like charges repel

Explanation:

In the nucleus of an atom are subatomic particles as follows: proton and neutron. Protons are positively charged subatomic particles while neutrons are neutrally charged. Following the principle that "like charges repel one another", protons in the nucleus of an atom tend to repel one another.

Hence, the need for neutrons to form a strong force with the self-repelling protons. This bonding between the neutrons and protons help keep the nucleus together. Therefore, protons wouldn’t be able to handle being packed into the nucleus without neutrons because protons are positively charged and like charges repel.

A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?
Usimov [2.4K]

Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or,                = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or,                = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

Infrared, visible light, then ultraviolet. Infrared is light that the human eye can not see and visible light is clearly light we can see then ultraviolet is has such a high frequency we can't see it either.

Two tuning forks produce sounds of wavelengths of 3.4 meters and 3.3 meters.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 3.4 m

wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m

Speed, v = 340 m/s

f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz

f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz

Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz
