Carbon(6 protons) + 2 protons = 8 protons

<u>Oxygen</u> = element with 8 protons

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the total number of all the protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, a carbon atom has atomic number 6 and it has 6 neutrons.

Atomic number also means the total number of protons present in an atom.

Hence, atomic mass of this carbon atom will be (6 protons + 6 neutrons) = 12.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom then atomic mass of this carbon atom will be as follows.

Atomic mass = [(6 + 2) protons + (2 + 6) neutrons]

= 16

As it is known that oxygen is the element that has atomic mass 16 and atomic number 8.

Therefore, we can conclude that the nucleus of given carbon atoms has converted into the nucleus of oxygen atom.

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

a= μ g ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}$

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2$

$kX^2=(m+M)v^2$

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.

Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.30 ss . If a rider's mass is 58.0 kgkg , with how much force does the ring push on her at

Stells [14]

Answer:

422.36 N

Explanation:

given,

time of rotation = 4.30 s

T = 4.30 s

Assuming the diameter of the ring equal to 16 m

radius, R = 8 m

$v = \dfrac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \dfrac{2\pi\times 8}{4.30}$

v = 11.69 m/s

now, Force does the ring push on her at the top

$- N - m g = \dfrac{-mv^2}{R}$

$N + m g = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}$

$N = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}- m g$

$N = m(\dfrac{v^2}{R}- g)$

$N = 58\times (\dfrac{11.69^2}{8}- 9.8)$

N = 422.36 N

The force exerted by the ring to push her is equal to 422.36 N.

What is the kinetic energy of a 50-kg child running to catch the school bus at

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Option C

100 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, KE is given by

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$ where m is the mass and v is the velocity

Substituting 50 Kg for mass, m and 2 m/s for velocity v then we obtain

$KE=0.5*50*2^{2}=100 J$

Therefore, the child's kinetic energy is equivalent to 100 J

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak

Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

$I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}$

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta$

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

$I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15$

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2
