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

Which embedded molecule in the cell membrane moves large molecules into and out of the cell?
Nezavi [6.7K]


The correct  answer is A.

The cell membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Sometimes molecules are just too big to easily flow across the plasma membrane or dissolve in the water so that they can be filtered through the cell membrane. In these  cases , the cells must put out a little energy to help get molecules in and out of the cell.

The proteins embedded in the plasma membrane form channels through which other molecules can pass. Some proteins act as carriers, that is they are 'paid" in energy to let a molecule attach to itself and  then transport that molecule inside the cell. This is called active transport.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

An elevator traveled 15 floors (150 ft) at a speed of 4.5 m/s. What additional information is needed to determine the velocity o
vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>
