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.

Ace Manufacturing ordered 17 boxes with 85 ball bearings each.They also ordered 15 boxes with 90 spring each. How many more ball
photoshop1234 [79]

<u>Answer</u>

95


<u>Explanation</u>

One box has 85 ball bearings.

17 boxes = 17 × 85

               = 1,445 ball bearing


One contains 90 springs

15 boxes ⇒ 15 × 90

               ⇒ 1,350 spring


Number of ball bearing more than springs are;

1445 - 1350 =<em> 95</em>

A wind powered generator converts wind energy into electrical energy. Assume that the generator converts a fixed fraction of win
Hunter-Best [27]
I'd go for b) v squared.
Wind is air in motion. So, it has kinetic energy. For a given mass of air at a certain speed, the kinetic energy would be (1/2)mv^2.
Since everything else in the chain seems to be proportional, then it's the v^2 bit that seems to be important. Hence the answer I post here.

Question #5: Explain how a reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope. List the two different types of reflec
Anni [7]

The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area. In contrast, a refracting telescope uses lenses that focus the light as it travels towards the other end.

Two different types of reflecting telescopes are:

1.Cassegrain reflector

2.Newtonian telescope

Explanation:

  • The distinction between the two is in how they manipulate the incoming light in order to magnify the image. The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area.
  • Key advantage of reflecting telescopes is how big you can make them. With lenses, the maximum size is limited to about one meter, largely because of the problems stated above as well as the skyrocketing costs.
  • The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector, is a type of reflecting telescope invented Sir Isaac Newton, using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. The Newtonian telescope's simple design has made it very popular with amateur telescope makers.
  • The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.
