Answer:

Neutrons have mass values close to proton mass values. Approximately the mass of a resting neutron is 1.674 928 x 10 ^ -27 kg.

Explanation:

Neutrons are atomic particles, ie they are part of the composition of atoms. Neutrons were first identified in 1932 by the English physicist James Chadwick (1891-1974). This scientist was conducting experiments with radioactivity when he found the presence of a particle that had no electric charge, he named it Neutron (zero charge).

The name could not be more appropriate since the lack of electric charge makes this particle neutral. It is present in the nucleus of the atom along with the protons (which have a positive charge). Neutrons have mass values close to those of the proton mass. Approximately the mass of a resting neutron is 1.674 928 x 10 ^ -27 kg

You are given four resistors, 2 ohms, 3 ohms, 5 ohms, and 10 ohms. Your friend say you can connect them so you obtain an equival

AlexFokin [52]

If we will connect the resistors 2ohms, 3ohms, 5ohms in series and the 10ohms resistance parallel then we get equivalent resistance of 5 ohms.

The equivalent circuit is,

R equivalent for the series connection is,

$\begin{gathered} Req(S)=2+3+5=10ohms \\ Now,\text{ } \\ Req\text{ }for\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }and\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }is, \\ \frac{1}{Req}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\ So, \\ Req=5\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}$

The equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.

So your friend is saying true.

. A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km, and finally turns around again and

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a) 12.4 km

b) 8.8 km

Explanation:

a) Distance is the total space covered by an object in its entire journey.

So, distance = 6.9+1.8+3.7 = 12.4 km

Distance travelled by the whale is 12.4 km

b) Displacement is the minimum distance between the final and initial point of the journey.

Let us take direction towards East as positive and direction towards west positive.

So, Displacement is given by

6.9-1.8+3.7 = 8.8 km

The displacement of the whale is 8.8 km

exis [7]

Answer:

D) Humans

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a useless ability without some way of exposing yourself to as much of the Sun's energy as possible. That requires a large surface area, relative to their volume. Plants achieve that with large, horizontal, light-capturing surfaces – leaves.
