Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

F_y:  T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N

T_y = T_*cos(50)\\T = \frac{T_y}{cos(50)} = 0.0305 N

T_x = T*sin(50) = 0.0234 N

The electric force is given by the expression:

F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}

In equilibrium, the distance between the spheres will be equal to 2 times the length of the string times sin(50):

r = 2*L*sin(50) = 2 * 0.1m * sin(50) 0.1532 m

And k is the coulomb constan equal to 9 *10^9 N*m^2/C^2. q1 y q2 is the charge of each particle, in this case, they are equal.

F_x = T_x - F_e = 0\\T_x = F_e = k*\frac{q^2}{r^2}

q = \sqrt{T_x *\frac{r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{0.0234 N * \frac{(0.1532m)^2}{9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2} } = 2.4704 * 10^-7 C

After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of 2.85 m/s. T
motikmotik

Answer:

V' = 0.84 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Linear speed of the ball, v = 2.85 m/s

rise of the ball, h = 0.53 m

Linear speed of the ball, v' = ?

rotation kinetic energy of the ball

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

I of the moment of inertia of the sphere

I = \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2

 v = R ω

using conservation of energy

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{2}( \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2)(\dfrac{V}{R})2

KE_r = \dfrac{1}{5}MV^2

Applying conservation of energy

Initial Linear KE + Initial roational KE = Final Linear KE + Final roational KE + Potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}MV^2 + \dfrac{1}{5}MV^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}MV'^2 + \dfrac{1}{5}MV'^2 + M g h

0.7 V^2 = 0.7 V'^2 + gh

0.7\times 2.85^2 = 0.7\times V'^2 +9.8\times 0.53

V'² = 0.7025

V' = 0.84 m/s

the linear speed of the ball at the top of ramp is equal to 0.84 m/s

Ammonia gas occupies a volume of 0.450 L at a pressure of 96 kPa. What
Sauron [17]

Answer:

0.426 L

Explanation:

Boyles law is expressed as p1v1=p2v2 where

P1 is first pressure, v1 is first volume

P2 is second pressure, v2 is second volume.

Given information

P1=96 kPa, v1=0.45 l

P2=101.3 kpa

Unknown is v2

Making v2 the subject from Boyle's law

v2=\frac {p1v1}{p2}

Substituting the given values then

v2=\frac {96*0.45}{101.3}=0.4264560710760l\approx 0.426 l

Therefore, the volume is approximately 0.426 L

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

To learn more about the photoelectric effect refer to the link;
