1. because they have the same numbers of protons and electrons.

2. by the number of its protons and neutrons

3. yes, because the isotopes of an element also have the same number of electrons.

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$

Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?

topjm [15]

The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.
