Which is true about carbon-12 compared with carbon-13

1 answer:

7 0

E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.

A cube of water 10 cm on a side is placed in a microwave beam having Ea = 11 kV/m‘ The microwaves illuminate one faceofthe cube,

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The time is 133.5 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

One side of cube = 10 cm

Intensity of electric field = 11 kV/m

Suppose How long will it take to raise the water temperature by 41°C Assume that the water has no heat loss during this time.

We need to calculate the rate of energy transfer from the beam to the cube

Using formula of rate of energy

$P=(0.80)IA$

$P=0.80\times\dfrac{c\mu_{0}E^2}{2}\times A$

Put the value into the formula

$P=0.80\times\dfrac{3\times10^{8}\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(1.1\times10^{4})^2}{2}\times(10\times10^{-2})^2$

$P=1285.02\ W$

We need to calculate the amount of heat

Using formula of heat

$E =mc\Delta T$

$E =\rho Vc\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$E=1000\times(0.10)^3\times4186\times41$

$E=171626\ J$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{E}{P}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{171626}{1285.02}$

$t=133.5\ sec$

Hence, The time is 133.5 sec.

You place a box weighing 200.2 N on a inclined plane that makes a 37.1 angle with the horizontal. Compute the component of the g

salantis [7]

Answer:

141.56 N.

Explanation:

Data given:

Weight of the box= 200.2 N

Angle with the horizontal= 37.1°

Solution;

Gravitational force on the box, $F_g$ = weight of the box

= 200.2 N

Component of gravitational force along plane = $F_g * sin$ ( ∅ )

= W * (sin∅)

= (200.1) * sin (37.1°)

= 141.56 N

12)A black body is heated from 27°C to 127° C. The ratio of their energies of radiations emitted will be

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

$81:256$ .

Explanation:

Let $T$ denote the absolute temperature of this object.

Calculate the value of $T$ before and after heating:

$T(\text{before}) = 27 + 273 = 300\; \rm K$ .

$T(\text{after}) = 127 + 273 = 400\; \rm K$ .

By the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the energy that this object emits (over all frequencies) would be proportional to $T^4$ .

Ratio between the absolute temperature of this object before and after heating:

$\displaystyle \frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})} = \frac{3}{4}$ .

Therefore, by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the ratio between the energy that this object emits before and after heating would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{T(\text{before})}{T(\text{after})}\right)^{4} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{4} = \frac{81}{256}$ .

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a

sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.
