Carbon-14 atom have 6 protons plus 8 neutrons.

Explanation

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are examples of isotopes of carbon that have huge applications in the field of science.

Isotopes are those elements who have equal number of protons and electrons whereas their neutrons differ.

Therefore isotopes have same atomic number, as atomic number depends on number of protons or number of electrons whereas number of neutrons do not have a role in atomic number.

But mass numbers of isotopes are different as mass numbers depend on the number of protons and number of electrons.

Two copper rods are separated by a small gap at B. Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the f

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A)3.8196 * $10^{9}$ Newtons B) 2.153 * $10^{9}$ Newtons

Explanation:

Force = Pressure * Area.

Pressure is given as 120GPa

Area = Cross Sectional Area of Rod = Area Of A circle = π $R^{2}$ .

Area Expansivity β = $\frac{Change in Area}{Original Area * Temperature Rise}$

Area Expansivity β = 2α

α = 16.9x10-6/ ° C.

Radius of Rod AB = Half 0f Diameter, 200mm = $\frac{0.2m}{2}$ = 0.1 m

Radius of Rod BC = Half Of Diameter, 150mm = $\frac{0.15}{2}$ = 0.075 m.

Note: To convert from millimeter to meter you divide by 1000.

Area of Rod AB = π * $0.1^{2}$ = 0.0314 $m^{2}$

Area of Rod BC = π * $0.075^{2}$ = 0.0177 $m^{2}$ .

Change in Area = 2α * Original Area * Temperature Rise. Therefore for

Rod AB = 2 * 16.9* $10^{-6}$ * 0.0314 * 30 = 3.183 * $10^{-5}$ $m^{2}$ .

For Rod BC we have = 2 * 16.9* $10^{-6}$ * 0.0177 * 30 = 1.794∈-5 $m^{2}$ .

The forces on each rods will be given by.

Force AB = Pressure * Area of Rod AB

= 120GPa * 3.183 * $10^{-5}$ gives 3.8196 * $10^{9}$ Newtons.

Force BC = Pressure * Area of Rod BC

= 120GPa * 1.794 * $10^{-5}$ gives 2.153 * $10^{9}$ Newtons

A certain digital camera having a lens with focal length 7.50 cmcm focuses on an object 1.70 mm tall that is 4.70 mm from the le

Crank

Answer:

a. 7.62cm

b. Real and inverted

c. 2.76 cm

d. 3450

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

a. the lens equation that relates the object distance to the image distance with the focal length is given as follows;

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

making q the subject of the formula;

q = pf/p-f

From the question;

p = 4.70m

f = 7.5cm = 0.075m

Substituting these, we have ;

q = (4.7)(0.075)/(4.7-0.075) = 0.3525/4.625 = 0.0762 = 7.62 cm

b. The image is real and inverted since the image distance is positive

c. We want to calculate how tall the image is

Mathematically;

h1 = (q/p)h0

h1 = (7.62/4.70)* 1.7

h1 = 2.76 cm

d. We want to calculate the number of pixels that fit into this image

Mathematically:

n = h1/8 micro meter

n = 2.76cm/8 micro meter = 2.76 * 10^-2/8 * 10^-6 = 3450
