Why is the mass of an atom’s electrons not included in the atom’s mass number

1 answer:

7 0

The electron is so light and so little mass that it basically adds nothing to the mass so the scientists decided not to include it

A brick falls from a wall to the ground 3.42 m below. How much time will it take to

ddd [48]

Answer:

The time taken by the brick to hit the ground, t = 0.84 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A brick falls from a height, h = 3.42 m

The initial velocity of the brick is zero.

Since the brick is under free-falling. The time equation of a free-falling body when the displacement is given is

t = $\sqrt{2h/g}$

where,

h - height from surface in meters

g - acceleration due to gravity

on substituting the values in the above equation,

t = $\sqrt{2X3.14/9.8}$

= 0.84 s

Hence, time taken by the brick to hit the ground is t = 0.84 s

By what potential difference must a proton [m_0 = 1.67E-27 kg) be accelerated to have a wavelength lambda = 4.23E-12 m? By what

Vinil7 [7]

Explanation:

1. Mass of the proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pq_pV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_pm_p\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

V = 45.83 volts

2. Mass of the electron, $m_p=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eq_eV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_em_e\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

$V=6.92\times 10^{34}\ V$

V = 84109.27 volt

Hence, this is the required solution.

In which state of matter are water molecules measured as having the lowest temperature?

natali 33 [55]

Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
