A body is found in the woods and all you have left to analyze are bones and teeth. Explain what isotopes would be helpful to you

as you seek to identify these remains and match them to a missing person's report. How would these isotopes help in the identification of this person?

Answer:

The isotopes that would be helpful to identify a missing person and complete its report are the stable isotopes.

The stable isotope forensic science analysis using Sr, O and S isotope variations has been developed recently using hair strands to identify recent geographic hints as temperature in climate causes the isotopes ratio to vary indicating if the person changed its geographic area or he/she  belongs to the area it was found, for what it drank.

Explanation:

The forensic analytical science uses different isotope´s methods like gas or liquid chromatography, HPLC, mass spectrometry, immunoassays, enzymatic assays, DNA profiling techniques, PCR, biosensing, metabolomics and LC-MS which can stablish the chemical nature of most of the samples provided.

As a basic principle consider isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different quantity of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.

What is the charge on 1.0 kg of protons? (e = 1.60 × 10-19 c, mproton = 1.67 × 10-27 kg)?
Andru [333]
First, we need to find the number of protons, which is the total mass divided by the mass of one proton:
N= \frac{m}{m_p}= \frac{1.0 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}=6.0 \cdot 10^{26} protons

Then, the total charge is the number of protons times the charge of a  single proton:
Q=Ne = 6.0 \cdot 10^{26}\cdot 1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} C=9.6 \cdot 10^7 C

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate
allochka39001 [22]
From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.
ahrayia [7]
The first step would be to create an electromagnet. You can create an electromagnet by winding a copper wire around the nail, the connect both ends to the battery. A current would start flowing around the nail through the wire, creating an electromagnet with its own magnetic field. Next, bringing the electromagnet to the mixture of copper and iron would slowly attract the pieces of iron (as copper is weakly magnetic). Do this slowly and the iron pieces would all slowly be separated from the copper pieces.
