Answer:

How does a Van de Graaff generator works?

A Van de Graaff generator pulls electrons from the Earth, moves them along a belt and stores them on the large sphere. These electrons repel each other and try to get as far away from each other as possible, spreading out on the surface of the sphere. ... It provides a convenient path for electrons to move to the ground.

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.
