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

Homes are often insulated with fiberglass insulation in their walls and ceiling. The thermal conductivity of fiberglass is 0.040
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.866 x 10^8 J

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity, K = 0.040 W/m^2 k

Area of the wall, A = 470 m^2

Thickness, d = 17 cm = 0.17 m

difference in temperature, ΔT = 30° C

The rate of heat flow is H.

Time, t = 1 day = 1 x 24 x 60 x 60 second = 86400 second

By use of formula of heat flow

H=\frac{K A \Delta T}{d}t

H=\frac{0.040 \times 470 \times 30}{0.17}\times 86400

H = 2.866 x 10^8 J

Two ac generators supply the same voltage. However, the first generator has a frequency of 1.2 kHz, and the second has a frequen
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

I_2 = 0.146 A

Explanation:

The formula for current in an inductor is;

I_rms = V_rms/X_L

Where X_L is inductance wirh formula 2πfL

So, I_rms = V_rms/X_L

Applying this to the two generators, we have;

First generator;

I_1 = V_rms/(2π(f_1)L)

And I_2 = V_rms/(2π(f_2)L)

Thus, to find the current in the second generator, we divide eq 1 by eq 2;

So,

I_2/I_1 = [V_rms/(2π(f_2)L)]/[V_rms/(2π(f_1)L)]

Some values will cance out leaving us with;

I_2/I_1 = f_1/f_2

I_2 = I_1(f_1/f_2)

Plugging in the relevant values ;

I_2 = 0.56(1.2/4.6)

I_2 = 0.146 A

Reptile [31]

Answer:

the answer will be C.  4 degrees C

Explanation:

you subtract base meters from peak meters to get 4 meters; then Multiply 6.5 by 4.

Then subtract that total from 30 degrees C

How can we use earths resources sustainability
erik [133]
.Water 
Adequate water supplies of high quality are necessary both for community use and local ecosystems. Communities and jurisdictions must work together to assure an adequate water supply to meet future needs. This section presents resources to aid in that effort.Energy 
Communities require energy. Nonrenewable sources for power generation, home and workplace, and transportation cause pollution and its harmful impacts. Energy conservation and the use of renewable fuels provide cost-effective and more sustainable alternatives. This section contains resources available to make energy use more efficient.Air and Climate 
Both the natural ecosystem and human health can be adversely impacted by declining air quality and climatic change. Communities can preserve air quality by limiting or eliminating the discharge of harmful chemicals into the air and by minimizing the sources of air pollution. This section contains resources and approaches that address air quality and climate change.Biodiversity 
Biodiversity is particularly important for creating sustainability because of the specialized roles each species plays in maintaining ecological balance. Communities can promote healthy wildlife by supporting integrative approaches for managing, protecting, and enhancing wildlife populations and habitats appropriate to their area. Some examples are given here.Land, Forests, and Ecosystems 
While providing a protective covering for soil, water, and the atmosphere, forests are also renewable sources of an endless variety of products. In a healthy ecosystem, policies and programs must balance economic and conservation needs. This section highlights cases where communities have developed land use practices and businesses that both conserve ecosystems and enhance local economies.
