Carbon-13 will have 6 protons (because it is carbon), 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons.

Atomic mass is the given by the sum of the number of protons and number of neutron in the nucleus of the atom.

A = P + N

where A = atomic mass of the atom

P = number of protons in the nucleus of the atom

N = Number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom

Given that :

A = atomic mass = 13

P = number of protons in the nucleus = 6

N = ?

Using the equation

A = P + N

13 = 6 + N

N = 13 - 6

N = 7

hence the isotope has 7 neutrons

The grains found in igneous rock:

Option c. are large

Igneous rocks are crystalline solids which are formed after the magma cools. The sizes vary greatly depending on how quickly the magma cooled. The slower the cooling, the larger the crystals in the final rock. They cooled at depth in the crust where they were insulated by layers of rock and sediment.

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

$E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

$r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So the initial total energy is

$E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J$

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

$r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

so its gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J$

And since it hits the ground with speed

$v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s$

it also has kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J$

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

$E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J$

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

$\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Give examples of plants that can reproduce by vegetative reproduction.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Some examples of vegetative propagation are farmers creating repeated crops of apples, corn, mangoes or avocados through asexual plant reproduction rather than planting seeds. Vegetative propagation can be accomplished from side-shoots, slips, stems and sections of tubers, bulbs or rhizomes.
