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.

What is the role of equations in this course?

Karolina [17]

That will depend on which course you're talking about. It will be a minor role in, say, Maritime Law or Comparitive Religion, but a major one in, say, Particle Physics or Linear Algebra.

Which of the following would illustrate a quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables when graphed?

Kitty [74]

Answer: option A. a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r (A = πr²).

Explanation:

A quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables shows the independent variable raised to the power of 2.

This is it is a polynomial with general form ax² + bx + c, whewre a, b, and c, named coeficients, are constants.

The function is y = ax² + bx + c, where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

As stated in the question, the area of a circle is given by A = πr².

In this case, A is the dependent variable and r is the independent variable.

π is assumed as the coefficient of the quadratic term, and the other coefficients are assumed 0, since there are no either terms on r or constants.

The equation a = 1/b is an inverse relation, not a quadratic relation.

The relation of distance vs. time for a car moving at constant speed is a linear relation of the kind v = u + st.

The mass of water vs. the volume of water in a drinking glass is a direct relation, mass = density × volume

Therefore, the only quadratic relation is shown by a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r.

Please help me with this physics prooblem

zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

$x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2$

$y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2$

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ$

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, $a_x$ and $a_y$ :

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The acceleration vector then has direction $\theta$ where

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ$

What is the instantaneous speed of the monkey at time t=5s?

bezimeni [28]

I’m assuming we’re suppose to get some kind of graph but, Instantaneous speed is the speed that is happening right now. Like driving a car at 15k/h. The instantaneous speed of the car 15k/h. On the graph, at 5s. Wherever the line is, will tell you what the speed is.
