State the numbers of protons and neutrons in
The atomic number Z gives protons and A - Z gives neutrons.
An iron oxide contains 69.9% iron and 30.1% oxygen by mass. Obtain its empirical formula.
Take a \(100\,\mathrm{g}\) sample, convert each element's mass into moles, and reduce the mole ratio to the smallest whole numbers.
A \(12.0\,\mathrm{m}\) steel wire has mass \(2.10\,\mathrm{kg}\). Find the tension that gives transverse-wave speed \(343\,\mathrm{m\,s}\)⁻¹.
Principle and reasoning. Work from the governing physical relation and apply it to every stated part.
Use v=sqrt(T/μ) after finding linear mass density.
Why need two bodies at different temperatures not settle at their arithmetic-mean temperature when placed in contact?
Principle and reasoning. Work from the governing physical relation and apply it to every stated part.
Thermal equilibrium is fixed by equality of heat lost and gained. The heat capacity of each body determines its temperature change.
A resistance thermometer reads 101.6 Ω at 273.16 K and 165.5 Ω at 600.5 K. Assuming linear response, find the temperature at 123.4 Ω.
Principle and reasoning. Work from the governing physical relation and apply it to every stated part.
Use proportional intervals on the straight calibration line.
A hypothetical planet circles the Sun twice as rapidly as Earth. Find its orbital radius relative to Earth's.
Twice the orbital rate means half the period. Apply Kepler's third law.
Identify the only vector among temperature, pressure, impulse, time, power, path length, energy, gravitational potential, coefficient of friction and charge.
Impulse equals change in momentum and therefore has direction.
A child moves about on a trolley that initially travels uniformly at speed V on a smooth floor. What happens to the speed of the centre of mass of the child–trolley system?
There is no external horizontal force. Hence total horizontal momentum and centre-of-mass velocity remain constant.
Two dice are rolled. Describe A: sum above 8, B: at least one die is 2, and C: sum is at least 7 and divisible by 3; identify mutually exclusive pairs.
Define the sample space and count each favourable outcome once.
The final value lies in [0,1]; complement pairs also sum to one, providing an independent check.
For 13,17,16,14,11,13,10,16,11,18,12,17, find the mean deviation about the median.
Form the required totals explicitly and divide by the full number of observations.
The variance is nonnegative and the reported standard deviation is its positive square root.
