Answer:

A) & B)

Explanation:

First, the numbers 12 and 13 represent the <em>atomic mass number</em> of the atoms.

So, A) is true: thus Carbon12 and Carbon 13 have different mass numbers.

The <em>mass number</em> is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons. Consider that any element has the same number of protons, regardless of the number of neutrons. The number of protons in Carbon is 6.

The amount of neutrons can be calculated by: <em>mass number </em>minus <em>number of protons.</em>

For Carbon 12: $12-6=6$

For Carbon 13: $13-6=7$

B) is true, we just proved they have different amounts of neutrons.

In order for the charge of the atom to be neutral, the amount of electrons must be equal to the number of protons (as they have opposite charges). And we now know that the number of protons in Carbon12 and Carbon13 are always the same

C) is false, the number of electrons is the same in both atoms

The atomic charges in both are neutral, due to the fact that they have the same amount of protons and electrons in both cases. Is only the neutrons (thus the mass numbers)that change

D) is false, they have equal atomic charges

nikitadnepr [17]

The radius of curvature of the proton's path while in the field is $66.67$ × $10^{-2}$ .

b) Let R = radius curvature of protons path. Then,

relation b/w B, R, and v is: -

$B = mv/eR\\R=mv/eB$

$R=\frac{1.6*10^{-27} * 20*10^{6}}{1.6*10^{-19}*0.3 }$

$R =66.67$ × $10^{-2}$

Hence, the radius of curvature of the proton's path while in the field is $66.67$ × $10^{-2}$ .

<h3>What do you mean by Magnetic field?</h3>

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. A force perpendicular to the charge's own velocity and the magnetic field acts on it when the charge is travelling through a magnetic field. The magnetic field of a permanent magnet pulls on ferromagnetic substances like iron and attracts or repels other magnets. A magnetic field that varies with location will also exert a force on a variety of non-magnetic materials by changing the velocity of those particles' outer electrons. Electric currents, like those utilized in electromagnets, and electric fields that change in time produce magnetic fields that surround magnetized things.

A tennis ball (m=0.060 kg) is moving horizontally at 20 m/s toward a tennis player who hits it straight back at 26 m/s. What is

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.36 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

Final velocity of the ball, v = 26 m/s

We need to find the change in momentum of the tennis ball. It is equal to the final momentum minus initial momentum

$\Delta p=m(v-u)\\\\=0.06\times (26-20)\\\\=0.36\ kg-m/s$

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 0.36 kg-m/s.

When a object is at rest, what is it’s speed??

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0 (there is no speed)

Explanation:

If an object is at rest, it is not moving, and it doesn't have a speed, so the speed is zero.

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration

Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

$F_f = \mu N$
