Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.

<h3>Atomic number</h3>

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.

Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

An incompressible fluid (water) is flowing through a pipe of diameter 20 cm with
sergey [27]

Answer:

115 kPa

Explanation:

Use Bernoulli equation:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Assuming no elevation change, h₁ = h₂.

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

Plugging in values:

(582,000 Pa) + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (1.28 m/s)² = P + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (30.6 m/s)²

P = 115,000 Pa

P = 115 kPa

What must be the magnitude of a uniform electric field if it is to have the same energy density as that possessed by a 0.50 T ma
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Explanation:

given data

B = 0.50 T

solution

we know that energy density by the magnetic field is express as

\mu _b = \frac{B}{2\mu _o}   ...............1

and

energy density due to electric filed is

\mu _e = \frac{\epsilon _o E^2}{2}     ...............2

and here \mu _b = \mu _ e

so that

E = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu _o \times \epsilon _o}}      ...................3

put here value and we get

E = \frac{0.50}{\sqrt{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 8.852 \times 10^{-12}}}  

E = 3 × 10^{8}  × 0.50

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

During each cycle, a refrigerator ejects 610 kJ of energy to a high-temperature reservoir, and takes in 505 kJ of energy from a
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer

A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ

B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8

Explanation

Given data

Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ

Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ

We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as

Wnet= Qh-Ql

=610-505

=105kJ

Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as

COP= Ql/Wnet

COP= 505/105

= 4.8

Distinguish between nonsampling error and sampling error. Choose the correct answer below.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Non-sampling error is the error that results from​ under-coverage, non-response​ bias, response​ bias, or​ data-entry errors. Sampling error is the error that results because a sample is being used to estimate information about a population.

Explanation:

Sampling error is related to the variation between the true values of the sample and the population. If occurred, it is always random depending upon the sample chosen.

Non-sampling error can be random as well as non-random. Non-sampling error can occur irrespective of the sample chosen. It is related to the inappropriate analysis of the data.

studies show that the amount of heat stored in the ocean is increasing. what effect might this have? a. the water cycle might di
Rasek [7]

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.
