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.

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

<h3>1)</h3>

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

                        = 0

<h3>2)</h3>

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

                            = 2(cos(24)(3.6))

                            = 6.5775 N

                            ≈ 6.6 N

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
