Answer:

Yes , it is possible  for two different atoms of carbon to have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei .

Explanation:

Isotopes -

Atoms of the element with same number of the electrons and protons , but differ in the number of neutrons , are called as the isotopes .

The isotopes of the element have the same number of protons and electrons , hence have the same chemical and physical properties .

Many isotopes occurs naturally .

In case of Carbon ,  

Carbon too have isotopes ,  

i.e.  

Carbon - 13 and Carbon - 14

carbon - 13 , have seven neutrons  

Carbon - 14 , have eight neutrons .

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t
Ber [7]

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the
sweet [91]

Answer:

20,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

a=-30 g=-30 (9.8 m/s^2)=-294 m/s^2 is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)

So, we can use the equation above to find the force:

F=(70 kg)(-294 m/s^2)=-20580 N

and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.
