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.

The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting 12 from 24 which will mean that there is 12 neutrons

The acceleration is the principal subordinate of the speed if the speed is steady the subsidiary is invalid if the speed is diminishing the subsidiary is negative. When discussing so much stuff we consider the momentary esteem.

<span>Note that when you back off, you back off by and large yet can locally in time quicken a tiny bit, suppose amid 1/tenth of a sec since you achieved a segment of the street which was slanting. In any case, this does not change the way that when the speed diminishes, the quickening is negative.</span>

It is determined that a certain light wave has a wavelength of 3.012 ×10−12 m. The light travels at 2.99 ×108 m/s. What is the f
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity=frequency*wavelength

velocity = 2.99*10^8 m/s

frequency = ?

wavelength = 3.012*10^-12

2.99*10^8m/s = (f)(3.012*10^-12)

f=9.58*10^19 Hertz

A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m
madam [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation

= mvR   where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .

= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46

= .0837 units

moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length

= 2.95 x .95² / 3

I₁ = .8874 units

moment of inertia of rod + putty

I₁ + mr²

m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks

I₂  = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²

I₂ = .905

Applying conservation of angular momentum

angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty

.0837 = .905 ω

ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty

ω = .092 rad /s .
