If carbon has an atomic number of 6, how many protons and neutrons are found in the carbon-14 atom? A.

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer is B. 6 protons and 8 neutrons

Carbon-14 has same atomic number of 6. It has a nucleon number of 14
Atomic number = proton number = 6
Neutron number = nucleon number - atomic number = 14 - 6 = 8

Where is the sun's energy most concentrated

Maru [420]

B. At the equator

Explanation:

The energy coming from the Sun hits the Earth's surface at different angles, depending on the latitude of the place. The more perpendicular the ray of lights hit the surface, the more the energy transmitted to the Earth's surface, the warmer the location.

The angle at which the ray of lights hit the Earth is related to the latitude: in particular, the ray of lights arrive perpendicular at the equator ( $0^{\circ}$ ), they arrive at larger angle in the United States (which is located at intermediate latitudes) and they arrive at the largest angles at the poles. For this reason, the sun's most energy is concentrated at the equator.

When ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 400 nm falls on a certain metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted p

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1.76 eV

Explanation:

Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons = energy of the photon- work function of the metal

K.E' = (hc/λ)-∅.................. Equation 1

Where K.E' = maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons, h = Planck's constant, c = speed, λ = wave length, ∅ = work function of the metal.

make ∅ the subject of the equation

∅ = (hc/λ)-K.E'.................. Equation 2

Given: h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ J.s, c = 3×10⁸ m/s, λ = 400 nm = 400×10⁻⁹ m, K.E' = 1.1 eV = 1.1(1.602×10⁻¹⁹) J = 1.7622×10⁻¹⁹ J

Substitute into equation 2

∅ = [6.63×10⁻³⁴(3×10⁸)/400×10⁻⁹ ]-1.7622×10⁻¹⁹

∅ = (4.973×10⁻¹⁹)-(1.7622×10⁻¹⁹)

∅ = 3.21×10⁻¹⁹ J.

The maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons when the wave length is 330 nm is

K.E' = [6.63×10⁻³⁴( 3×10⁸ )/330×10⁻⁹]-(3.21×10⁻¹⁹)

K.E' = (6.03×10⁻¹⁹)-(3.21×10⁻¹⁹)

K.E' = 2.82×10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E' = 2.82×10⁻¹⁹/1.602×10⁻¹⁹

K.E' = 1.76 eV

Discuss the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. How are they related?

Discuss the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. How are they related?

The magnetic field is related to the electric field in such a way that magnetic fields moves perpendicular the electric field. This relationship exists between a magnetic field and an electric field is a consequence of associating elementary particles.

E Describe the meaning of a line crossing the x-axis in a velocity-time graph.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A line crossing the x-axis in a velocity-time graph means that the moving object has changed its direction.

Explanation:

Velocity-Time graph:

A velocity-time graph is a two dimensional graph with velocity at its y-axis and time at its x-axis. At any point, value of y represents the velocity and value of x represents the time. The slope of the graph gives us the acceleration or deceleration of the moving object.

In a velocity-time graph:

- A straight line represents constant velocity.

- A diagonal line means that the velocity of a body is changing.

*Referring to the figure attached with the answer*

The velocity of the moving object increases at a constant rate for the first 10 minutes. Then the velocity is 60 m/min for the next 5 minutes. After that the velocity is decreasing. Till 30th minute when the velocity is at 0 m/min.

What happens here?

Velocity is a vector quantity. It has some direction. In a velocity-time graph, we are only concerned with two directions of velocity:

- Forward direction

- Backward direction

So, the object stops at 30th minute and starts moving in the reverse direction after that with an increasing velocity. The point where the line cuts the x-axis is basically the point where the object starts moving in the reverse direction.
