Neutrons are electrically neutral, but contribute to the mass of a nucleus to nearly the same extent as the protons. Neutrons can explain the phenomenon of isotopes (same atomic number with different atomic mass). The main role of neutrons is to reduce electrostatic repulsion inside the nucleus.

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!

What is the difference between free fall and weightlessness??
joja [24]
When you are in free fall, the force of gravity is stronger than your velocity perpendicular to where you're falling, and you move at a constant speed downwards.

Under feelings of weightlessness, you are still being pulled by gravity, but your perpendicular velocity and distance from the source can cancel each other out.

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

Consider a blackbody that radiates with an intensity I1I1I_1 at a room temperature of 300K300K. At what intensity I2I2I_2 will t
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Stefan's formula

E = AσT⁴

When T = 300

I₁ = Aσ x 300⁴

When T = 400K

I₂ = Aσ x 400⁴

I₂ / I₁ = 400⁴ / 300⁴

= 256 / 81

= 3.16

I₂ = 3.16 I₁ .

in a closed system three objects have the following momentum: 11 kg* m/s, -65 kg*m/s and -100 kg m/s. the objects collide and mo
guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The momentum of the three objects are as follow :

11 kg-m/s, -65 kg-m/s and -100 kg-m/s

Before collision, the momentum of the system is :

P_i=11+(-65)+(-100)\\\\P_i=-154\ kg-m/s

After collison, they move together. It means it is a case of inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the momentum of the system remains conserved.

It would mean that, after collision, momentum of the system is equal to the initial momentum.

Hence, final momentum = -154 kg-m/s.
