If a carbon atom was broken in half, would it still be carbon?

1 answer:

4 0

If a carbon atom was broken in half, would it still be carbon? 99% of all carbon atoms are the isotope carbon-12m containing 6 protons and 6 neutrons. If you split that evenly, the resulting atom would have 3 protons and 3 neutrons, which would be lithium-6.

Zoe finds that the temperature of a substance is 12 degrees Celsius. What does this tell Zoe about the substance?

maks197457 [2]

Given the temperature, we can tell if the substance is cold or not relative to the reference temperature. For example, compared to the substance having a temperature of 15 degrees C, the substance is colder and it is hotter from the substance of temperature lesser than 12 degrees C.

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the

valina [46]

The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
$v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta$

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
$y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\ \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t$
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
$-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\ \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\ \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\ \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\ \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\ \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3$
