Answer:

The number of protons in the atom!

Explanation:

Explanation:

The atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element. This means that the number.

That means 12.01 grams of carbon contains 6.0225*1023 atoms of carbon. If you divide the atomic weight by Avogadro's number, you get the mass of one atom. In the case of carbon, that ends up being 0.000000000000000000000019942 grams.

The number of protons is the atomic number, and the number of protons plus neutrons is the atomic mass. For hydrogen, the atomic mass is 1 because there is one proton and no neutrons. For helium, it is 4: two protons and two neutrons.

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.

natima [27]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Torque = <em>2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm</em>

Energy = <em>3.54 x 10³³ J</em>

Average power = <em>1.02 x 10²⁸ W</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) Torque (τ) is the rotational effect of a given force.  

It is given by

τ = I x α          -------------(i)

Where;

I = rotational inertia of the object

α = angular acceleration of the object.

In this case, the object is the Earth. Therefore,

I = 9.71 x 10³⁷ kg m²

α = ω / t

Where;

ω = angular velocity of earth = 2π rad / day

<em>Since </em>

<em>1 day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 3600seconds</em>

<em>1 day = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400seconds</em>

<em>=> ω = 2π rad / 86400seconds</em>

<em>=> ω = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s</em>

<em />

t = 4 days = 4 x 24 x 3600 seconds = 345600 seconds

=> α = ω / t

=> α = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ / 345600

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵) / (3.456 x 10⁵)

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵⁻⁵) / (3.456)

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻¹⁰) / (3.456)

=> α = 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰ rad/s²

Now substitute the values of I and α into equation (i)

τ = 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰

τ = 9.71 x 10²⁷ x 2.11

τ = 20.5 x 10²⁷ Nm

τ = 2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm

(ii) The energy (rotational energy) E is given by;

E = \frac{1}{2} x I x ω

E = \frac{1}{2} x 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 7.29 × 10⁻⁵

E = 35.4 x 10³² J

E = 3.54 x 10³³ J

(iii) The average power P, is given by;

P = E / t

P = 3.54 x 10³³ / 345600

P = 1.02 x 10²⁸ W

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s

An hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose total mass is 3.3×10−27 kg and whose moment of inertia about an axis p
dlinn [17]

Answer:

6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = 4\times 10^{-48}\ kg m^2

m = Mass of two atoms = 2m = 3.3\times 10^{-27}\ kg

r  = distance between axis and rotation mass

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=2mr^2\\\Rightarrow 4\times 10^{-48}=3.3\times 10^{-27}\times r^2\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 10^{-48}}{3.3\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow r=3.48155\times 10^{-11}\ m

The distance between the atoms will be two times the distance between axis and rotation mass.

d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.48155\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow d=6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is 6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m
