Answer: C. different isotopes of the same element

Explanation:

Isotopes are the atoms of same element having different number of neutrons. The number of protons is same in all the isotopes which means that all the atoms have same atomic number. Having different number of neutrons, these  atoms have different mass number but same atomic number.

Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14 have same atomic number - 6 but different mass number i.e have different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, carbon-13 has 7 neutrons and carbon 14 has 8 neutrons. These are different isotopes of the same element.

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.55g need in order to have a kinetic energy of 7.6 •10^4 j?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

16613 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg

Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J

Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s

We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula

KE = 1/2 * m * v²

If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,

7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²

v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3

v² = 2.76*10^8

v = √2.76*10^8

v = 16613 m/s

Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is D  =  2.6 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the light is  \lambda  =  476.1 \ nm  =  476.1 *10^{-9} \ m

      The  distance between the slit is  d =  0.29 \  mm  =  0.29 *10^{-3} \ m

       The  between the first and second dark fringes is  y =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \ m

Generally  fringe width is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{\lambda * D }{d}

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

   Hence

        D  =  \frac{y *  d}{\lambda }

substituting values

       D  =  \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} *   0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }

        D  =  2.6 \ m

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

What motivates the squire in lines 85- 90?
just olya [345]
<span>Answer: If you mean the Knight in the prologue, the man traveling with his son (the Squire) and a Yeoman, he is traveling to Canterbury to give thanks for his safe return from the wars in the Baltic. We're told that he has never been known to speak unkindly to anyone, a fact that sums up his chivalrous upbringing. Evidently he feels strongly motivated to live by a code of high standards and refined behavior.</span>

The moment of water from ocean through the atmosphere and back
melisa1 [442]

The water cycle is all about storing water and moving water on, in, and above the Earth. Although the atmosphere may not be a great storehouse of water, it is the superhighway used to move water around the globe. Evaporation and transpiration change liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents. Cooler temperatures aloft allow the vapor to condense into clouds and strong winds move the clouds around the world until the water falls as precipitation to replenish the earthbound parts of the water cycle. About 90 percent of water in the atmosphere is produced by evaporation from water bodies, while the other 10 percent comes from transpiration from plants.

There is always water in the atmosphere. Clouds are, of course, the most visible manifestation of atmospheric water, but even clear air contains water—water in particles that are too small to be seen. One estimate of the volume of water in the atmosphere at any one time is about 3,100 cubic miles (mi3) or 12,900 cubic kilometers (km3). That may sound like a lot, but it is only about 0.001 percent of the total Earth's water volume of about 332,500,000 mi3 (1,385,000,000 km3), If all of the water in the atmosphere rained down at once, it would only cover the globe to a depth of 2.5 centimeters, about 1 inch.
