How do carbo-12 and carbon -14 differ

Physics

Vikki [24]4 years ago

The numbers refer to the mass of each carbon atom.  

Since the atoms are all Carbon, the number of protons in each atom is always the same ... if the number of protons changed, then you'd have an atom of something else, not Carbon.  The only way the atomic mass can change and still be an atom of the same element is by adding or removing NEUTRONS.

Carbon-14 has two more neutrons in the nucleus of its atoms than Carbon-12 has.

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>

There are three long parallel wires arranged so that, in cross-section, they occupy the points of an equilateral triangle. Is th
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Yes, there is such a way.

Explanation:

If currents flow in the same direction in two or more long parallel wires, there will be an attractive force between the wires. If the current flows in different directions, there will be a repulsive force between the wires. In this case, these three parallel wires, can be be made to carry current in the same direction, creating an attractive force between all three wires.

Note that it is not possible to have at the least one of them carry current in the opposite direction and still have an attractive current between them.

Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous plan

From my research, the image supports the question. From the graph given, we can construct the equation of the line using the two-point formula. Using the given value of 601 K, we can solve for the missing value of altitude.

y - y1 = [(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)](x- x1)
y - 147.52 = [ (567 - 147.54)/(78.11 - 18.4) ](x - 18.4)

Substituting y = 601 to solve for x:
601 - 147.52 = [ (567 - 147.54)/(78.11 - 18.4) ](x - 18.4<span>)
</span>x = 83

Therefore, the probe's instruments will fail at 83 kilometers.

If the photon scatters in the backward direction, what is the magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron just after the co
Strike441 [17]
Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.
