Carbon(6 protons) + 2 protons = 8 protons

<u>Oxygen</u> = element with 8 protons

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the total number of all the protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, a carbon atom has atomic number 6 and it has 6 neutrons.

Atomic number also means the total number of protons present in an atom.

Hence, atomic mass of this carbon atom will be (6 protons + 6 neutrons) = 12.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom then atomic mass of this carbon atom will be as follows.

               Atomic mass = [(6 + 2) protons + (2 + 6) neutrons]

                                      = 16

As it is known that oxygen is the element that has atomic mass 16 and atomic number 8.

Therefore, we can conclude that the nucleus of given carbon atoms has converted into the nucleus of oxygen atom.

A 7000-kg plane is launched from an aircraft carrier in 2.0 seconds
ExtremeBDS [4]

The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively

To calculate the acceleration of the plane, we use the formula below.

<h3>Formula:</h3>
  • a = F/m..................... Equation 1

Where:

  • a = Acceleration of the plane
  • F = Force applied to the plane
  • m = mass of the plane.

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 550000 N
  • m = 7000 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • a = 550000/7000
  • a = 78.57 m/s²

To calculate the velocity, we use the formula below.

  • v = u+at............. Equation 2

Where:

  • v = Final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • a = acceleration
  • t = time.

From the question,

Given:

  • u = 0 m/s
  • a = 78.57 m/s
  • t = 2.0 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = 0+2(78.57)
  • v = 157.14 m/s

Hence, The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively.

How long will a plane have to fly continuously with 900 miles per hour in order to cover the same distance as that from Earth to
hammer [34]

I'm not sure about the distance to the nearest star, but it's probably about        4 light-years (L-y).

1 L-y = 1.86 * 10E5 mi/sec * 3600 sec/hr * 24 hr/day * 365 day/yr

1 L-y = 5.9 *10E12 mi   and 4 L-y = 2.3 *10E13 mi    distance to star

2.3 * 10E13 mi / 900 mi/hr = 2.6 * 10E10 hr       hours to star

2.6 * 10E10 hr / (24 hr/day) = 1.1 * 10E9 day     days to star

1.1 * 10E9 day / 365 day/yr = 3 * 10E6 yr = 3 million years to star
