atoms are unstable unless they have a similar number of protons and neutrons. To make the carbon atom stable, add 6 neutrons to

it. What's the mass number now?​

Answer:

Mass number of carbon is 12.

Explanation:

Carbon atom is defined as 6 atoms in a nucleus, and the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.  

Before any neutrons are added to the carbon atom, its mass number is 6;<em> after 6 neutrons are added, the total number of protons and neutrons is now 12—the mass number becomes 12.</em>

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 20 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik
enot [183]

Answer:

9.8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

  • x = initial vertical height of the ball = 20 m
  • y = final height of the ball = 0 m
  • a = acceleration of the ball in air = -g = -9.8\ m/s^2
  • u = initial vertical velocity of the ball = 37.9 m/s

Assume:

  • t = time interval

When an object is in air, the gravitational force due to earth in the downward direction and air resistance opposite to the motion of the object acts on it. But, air resistance is neglected unless it is mentioned in the question. This means only gravitational force due to the earth acts on it in the downward direction.

Let us first find out the time interval for which the ball remains in the air i.e., the time instant from which the ball was projected vertically up to the time instant at which the ball strikes the ground.

Since the ball in the air remains at constant acceleration motion, we have the following relation:

y-x = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 0-20=37.9t+\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2-37.9t-20=0\\

On solving the above quadratic equation, we have

t = -0.50 s  or   t = 8.23 s

Since t = -0.50 s is the time in the past. So, it is wrong and t = 8.23 s is the desirable time instant.

This means the ball is in the air for 8.23 s. Since the ball in the air remains in constant acceleration motion in the downward direction. So, the ball has a constant acceleration closest to 9.8\ m/s^2 at t = 6.2 s. This is because the ball remains in the air for 8.23 s.

Answer:Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Explanation:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a general, persistent, and soon-lasting disorder in which an individual has involuntary, repetitive thoughts and/or actions that he or she feels compelled to replicate over and over.

Myesha also shows the symptoms of OCD by constantly checking the window and doors.

An individual suffering from OCD shows symptoms like

  • Fear of or infection by germs
  • Aggressive feelings to others or self
  • Getting things in a symmetrical or optimal order
