Answer : Option C) Roughness of the surface and weight of the object.

Explanation : The factors that affect the forces of friction are roughness of the surface and weight of the object.

Friction is the force which resists the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements which are sliding against each other.

Friction depends on the normal force and the roughness of the surface which is in contact. When a body is placed on the ground, the mass of the body which is weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity, comes into play for the normal force from the ground. This clearly shows that friction is affected by weight as it depends on the mass of the object.

It also depends partly on the smoothness of the contacting surfaces, if a greater force being applied to move two surfaces past one another then they are rough, if they were smooth less force would have been applied for moving it.

Arrange the three common unit cells in order from least dense to most dense packing. a. face-centered cubic < body-centered c

Answer:

b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.

In the primitive cubic, each sphere is in contact with 6 spheres, so its coordination number is 6.

In the body-centered cubic, each sphere is in contact with 8 spheres, so its coordination number is 12.

In the face-centered cubic, each sphere is in contact with 12 spheres, so its coordination number is 12.

Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.

Why must each atom of an element always have the same number of protons?

Yuliya22 [10]

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
