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 .

Bowling balls are roughly the same size, but come in a variety of weights. Given its official radius of roughly 0.110 m, calcula

Answer:

6.1328 kg

60.16284 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of ball = 0.11 m

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $1.1\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$ (Assumed)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of ball

V = Volume of ball = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

The weight of the bowling ball will balance the buouyant force

$W=F_b\\\Rightarrow mg=V\rho g\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{V\rho g}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=V\rho\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.11^3\times 1.1\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow m=6.1328\ kg$

The mass of the bowling ball will be 6.1328 kg

Weight will be $6.1328\times 9.81=60.16284\ N$

How can a person detect infrared rays without an instrument?

natita [175]

So we want to know how can we detect infrared rays without an instrument. Infrared rays or heat, are a part of electromagnetic spectrum. We have specialized nerve cells in our skin called thermoreceptors that can detect differences in temperature that are produced by infrared part of EM spectrum.
