<span>The mass of Avogadro's number of Carbon-12 atoms, which exactly equals 12.000</span>
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

AMU stands for atomic mass unit. It is used to define the mass of an atom.

1 amu is defined as the mas of one twelfth of the mass of one carbon - 12 atom.

1 amu = mass of 1/12 of one carbon 12 atom

It is said to be that 1 amu is the average mass of one proton and one neutron.

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction,the_the resistance to sliding​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

lower

Explanation:

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding.

The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the frictional force and the normal force pressing two surfaces in contact together.

               U  = \frac{F}{N}  

U is the coefficient of friction

F is the frictional force

N is the normal force

 We see that coefficient of friction is directly proportional to frictional force.

A cyclotron designed to accelerate protons has a magnetic field of magnitude 0.15 T over a region of radius 7.4 m. The charge on
klio [65]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.15 T

Charge on a proton, q=1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of a proton, m=1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg

The cyclotron frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m}

f=\dfrac{1.60218\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.15\ T}{2\pi \times 1.67262 \times 10^{-27}\ kg}

f = 2286785.40 Hz

or

\omega=14368296.44\ rad/s

\omega=1.43\times 10^7 rad/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
Effectus [21]
Time it takes the projectile to hit the ground after being thrown up:

√h/1/2a

√8/(.5)(9.81)

√8/4.905

√1.630988787

= 1.277101714

= 1. 28

hope this helps :)

Define wavelength as it relates to the electromagnetic spectrum.
swat32
The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)
