Explain what effect losing a gamma ray has on a nucleus.

Physics
1 answer:
gogolik [260]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Hi, Since energy levels in the nucleus are much higher than those in the gas, the nucleus will cool down by emitting a more energetic electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray . Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same.

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 protons and an atomic mass of 24. How many neutrons does magnesium have?
JulijaS [17]
An atom is made up of three different particles, which are proton, neutron and electron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up mass of the atom. The electron orbit around the nucleus. The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged, thus, for the atom to remain neutral, the number of proton and electron in an atom must be equal. The neutron has no charge.
The atomic mass of an element = number of proton + number of neutron
Atomic mass of magnesium= 24 
Number of proton = 12
Therefore, number of neutron = 24 - 12 = 12.
Thus, the number of neutron = 12.

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Positive z direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting on the electron is given by the formula as :

F=q(v\times B)

q is the charge on proton

v is the speed of proton

B is the magnetic field

It is mentioned that the proton is moving with a velocity in the positive x-direction. The uniform magnetic field B in the positive y-direction such taht,

q = +e

v = vi

B = Bj

F=e(v\ i\times B\ j)

Since, i\times j=k

F=(evB)\ k

So, the magnetic force acting on the proton in positive z axis. Hence, the correct option is (d) "positive z direction".
