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 .

Through what process is carbon pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle
Andrei [34K]

Carbon is pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle through the process of photosynthesis. Details about photosynthesis can be found below.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their nutrition by utilizing energy from sunlight.

Green plants absorb carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in the photosynthetic process.

This means that one way that carbon is removed from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle is through photosynthesis.

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let a = 200 N and b = 400 N. Round y
omeli [17]

Answer: R = 346.4N and angle 30° to the horizontal negative axis

Explanation:

To find the resultant force, we need to sum up the forces on the vertical and horizontal axis.

For the horizontal axis;

Rx = -b + acos60

Rx = -400N +200cos60

Rx = -400N +100N

Rx = -300N

For the vertical axis;

Ry = asin60 = 200sin60

Ry = 173.2N

The resultant force R can be given as;

R = √(Rx^2 +Ry^2)

R = √((-300)^2 + 173.2^2)

R = 346.4N

Angle z can be written as

Tanz = Ry/Rx

z = taninverse (Ry/Rx)

z = taninverse (173.2/300)

z = 30°

The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted. Because of this, the amount of sunlight an area on the planet receives each day varies
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The Northern Hemisphere experiences the start of <u>summer</u>

Explanation:

Due to this tilt in Earth's axis of rotation, some regions receive different amounts of sunlight according to the seasons of the year. These variations are more evident near the poles and softer or imperceptible near the equator. This explains the fact that while in the northern hemisphere it is summer and there are high temperatures (because the Sunlight incides more perpendicularly in this area during this season), in the southern hemisphere it is winter and very low temperatures are recorded, and vice versa.  

In this sense, according to the image the Earth is at the point of its orbit in which, due to the inclination of its axis, the North Pole is closer to the Sun.  

In other words, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and this astronomical phenomenon brings the summer season for the Northern Hemisphere.
