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

A boy on the beach holds a spherical balloon filled with air. at 10:00am, the temperature on the beach is 20°c and the balloon h
Anon25 [30]
For idea gases, volume is directly proportional to temperature. That is, an increase in temperature leads to increase in volume and vice versa.

Therefore,
V1/T1 = V2/T2 => T2 = (V2*T1)/V1

Assuming that the balloon is spherical in shape,

V= 4/3*pi*R^3.... In the formula for calculating T2, 4/3*pi cancels out.

R1 = 30/2 15 cm; R2 = 30.5/2 = 15.25 cm; T1 = 20+273.15 =293.15 K

Therefore,

T2 = (R2^3*T1)/R1^3 = (15.25^3*293.15)/15^3 = 308.05 K = 34.9 °C

Anna drives north at a speed of 50 km/h for the first hour. Then, she drives north for a second hour but slows down to 30 km/h.
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is A The distance is greater in the first hour because her speed is faster.

Explanation:

During the first hour, Anna is driving at a speed of 50 km/h. During the second hour, she is only driving at a speed of 30 km/h. The faster she goes, the farther she will go.

Hope this helps,
