Answer:

hydrogen sometimes has a charge of zero or (less commonly) -1. Although noble gas atoms almost always carry a charge of zero, these elements do form compounds, which means they can gain or lose electrons and carry a charge.

Answer:

The charge of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of electrons. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element given in the periodic table. The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number minus the charge of the atom.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = $\frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}$

= $\frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}$

= $2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) = $1.2 *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

How does air resistance affect how fast a feather falls?

Korvikt [17]

Answer: Ain't its because how light the feather is ? It's not as heavy.

Explanation: With air resistance, acceleration throughout a fall gets less than gravity (g) because air resistance affects the movement of the falling object by slowing it down. ... Usually, resistance is not very high at low speed or for small or sharp objects (Google Source if needed to prove yours answer)
