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 .

Work of 5 Joules is done in stretching a spring from its natural length to 19 cm beyond its natural length. What is the force (i
densk [106]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

5J work is done by stretching a spring

e = 19cm = 0.19m

Assuming the spring is ideal, then we can apply Hooke's law

F = kx

To calculate k, we can apply the Workdone by a spring formula

W=∫F.dx

Since F=kx

W = ∫kx dx from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½kx² from x = 0 to x = 0.19

W = ½k (0.19²-0²)

5 = ½k(0.0361-0)

5×2 = 0.0361k

Then, k = 10/0.0361

k = 277.008 N/m

The spring constant is 277.008N/m

Then, applying Hooke's law to find the applied force

F = kx

F = 277.008 × 0.19

F = 52.63 N

The applied force is 52.63N

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.
