d = 2021.6 km

Explanation:

We can solve this distance exercise with vectors, the easiest method s to find the components of the position of each plane and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find distance between them

Airplane 1

Height y₁ = 800m

Angle θ = 25°

cos 25 = x / r

sin 25 = z / r

x₁ = r cos 20

z₁ = r sin 25

x₁ = 18 103 cos 25 = 16,314 103 m = 16314 m

z₁ = 18 103 sin 25 = 7,607 103 m= 7607 m

2 plane

Height y₂ = 1100 m

Angle θ = 20°

x₂ = 20 103 cos 25 = 18.126 103 m = 18126 m

z₂ = 20 103 without 25 = 8.452 103 m = 8452 m

The distance between the planes using the Pythagorean Theorem is

d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)² + (z₂-z₁)²2

Let's calculate

d² = (18126-16314)² + (1100-800)² + (8452-7607)²

d² = 3,283 106 +9 104 + 7,140 105

d² = (328.3 + 9 + 71.40) 10⁴

d = √(408.7 10⁴)

d = 20,216 10² m

d = 2021.6 km

Answer:

Atoms of tellurium (Te) have the greatest average number of neutrons equal to 76.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, Elements are represented with their respected symbols. Above the symbol is the elements atomic number which is equal to the number of protons in each atom. Below the symbol is the mass number of that element which is roughly equal to the sum of neutrons and protons of that atom.

To calculate the number of neutrons we can take the difference of Atomic number and mass number:

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

- Tin:

Atomic number = 50

Mass number = 119

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 119 - 50

Number of neutrons = 69

- Antimony(Sb):

Atomic number = 51

Mass number = 122

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 122 - 51

Number of neutrons = 71

- Tellurium(Te):

Atomic number = 52

Mass number = 128

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 128 - 52

Number of neutrons = 76

- Iodine(I):

Atomic number = 53

Mass number = 127

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 127 - 53

Number of neutrons = 74

Here, the greatest number of neutrons is for the atoms of Tellurium(Te).
