(31-15 = 16).

Explanation:

the element phosphorus (P) has an atomic number of 15 and a mass number of 31. Therefore, an atom of phosphorus has 15 protons, 15 electrons, and 16 neutrons

A 1.0 kg rock is thrown straight upward with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. What is its speed
Ronch [10]

Answer:5.7m/s

Explanation:

Mass=1kg

Initial velocity=u=8m/s

height=h=1.6m

Final velocity =v

Acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8m/s^2

v^2=u^2-2xgxh

v^2=8^2-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=8x8-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=64-31.36

v^2=32.64

Take the square root of both sides

√(v^2)=√(32.64)

v=5.7

Speed at the height of 1.6m is 5.7m/s

In 1977 off the coast of Australia, the fastest speed by a vessel on the water
fenix001 [56]

Answer: 154.08 m/s

Explanation:

Average acceleration a_{ave} is the variation of velocity  \Delta V over a specified period of time  \Delta t:

a_{ave}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}}

Where:

a_{ave}=1.80 m/s^{2}

\Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} being V_{o}=0 the initial velocity and V_{f} the final velocity

\Delta t=85.6 s

Then:

a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{\Delta t}}

Since V_{o}=0:

a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}}{\Delta t}}

Finding V_{f}:

V_{f}=a_{ave} \Delta t

V_{f}=(1.80 m/s^{2})(85.6 s)

Finally:

V_{f}=154.08 m/s

State the law of conservation of linear momentum using Newton's third law of deduce this ​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Derivation of Conservation of Momentum

Applying Newton's third law, these two impulsive forces are equal and opposite i.e. is equal to the change in momentum of the first object. is equal to the change in momentum of the second object. This relation suggests that momentum is conserved during the collision.

Please help on this one
PolarNik [594]

If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces
