How do you find average number of neutrons in an element?

All NEUTRAL atoms have an equal number of protons and neutrons. The atoms on the periodic table are assumed to be neutral. For example: carbons atomic number is 6 because it has 6 protons. So if it is neutral it will also have 6 neutrons. So its atomic mass is basicly 12. But you could also find carbon 14 in the world which would have 6 protons and 8 neutrons. This would be called an isotope of carbon. NOTE: only the number of neutrons can change in an atom, never protons. The number of protons define the element. Yo answer your question: All atoms and their atomic mass as seen on the periodic table are an average of that type of element you would find on earth. So in other words, almost all the carbon on earth is carbon 12. So the average number of neutrons you would find in carbon is 6. Another way to look at it: If most of the elements on earth are neutral and have equal protons and neutrons. Then you could just say the atomic number of an atom would also be the average number of neutrons you will find in that element type. Hydrogen 1 neutron, helium 2, lithium 3 and so on...


Can one play yo-yo on the moon?

Yes, though the acceleration due to gravity will be much less so the yo-yo is likely to be much harder to control (possibly necessitating an increase in its mass and/or angular momentum ratios).


How do yo find the neutrons of an atom?

Refer to the periodic table of elements the number above the letter (atomic #) refers to the number of protons in the nucleus NOTE: in a neutral atom, we know that #protons = #electrons the number below the letter(atomic mass) refers to the number of protons + neutrons therefore if we take ATOMIC MASS - ATOMIC # = # NEUTRONS


If a net force of 0.2 N is applied in step c use the space below to calculate how fast the yo-yo accelerates?

Not enough information. But basically, you need to use Newton's Second Law: you need to divide the force by the mass of the yo-yo.


That the unbalanced forcing acting on an object equals the object mass times its acceleration is?

yo mama. Ha Ha Ha Ha

Does a heavier yo-yo get more spin?

No it does not. The heavier yo-yo has more mass, meaning it will spin slower than a lighter yo-yo.
