Answer:

Protons

Explanation:

All the atoms in the carbon sample will contain the same atomic number, represented by Z.

Also, the nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutron and for the atomic number to be same, the number of protons in the atom must be same.

Therefore, the nucleus can have variation in the number of neutron but not proton for the same carbon sample giving rise to the isotopes of carbon.

Isotopes:

The elements that contains the same atomic number but their mass number is different.

What is the difference between distance and position?

Ket [755]

Distance is a scalar and measured only by units (meters, feet). Position is a vector and depends on where the origin is. It can be negative or positive and has direction.

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?

iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }$

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

$m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}$
