An atom of sodium has a larger mass than an atom of neon. How is this possible when neon has so many more valence electrons?

The electrons contribute just about zero to the mass of an atom.
It takes more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of one
proton or neutron.

The naturally occurring element with the most complex atom is
Uranium. That's element #92 , so a neutral uranium atom has
92 electrons.  It would take almost exactly 20 times that many
electrons to add the mass of one proton or neutron to the atom!
(And no other element has that many electrons in an atom of it.)

How much force does it take to accelerate a 2,000-kg car at 4 m/s
Leona [35]

Answer:

C. 8,000 N

Explanation:

<em>Newton's second law of motion</em> describes the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate it.  

This law can be expresses as F=ma,

where  

  • F -  force acting on an object
  • m-  the mass of an object  
  • a -  its acceleration

The more mass an object has, the more force you need to accelerate it. And the greater the force, the greater the object's acceleration.

<em>F = ma </em>

<em>   =2000×4 = 8,000 N</em>

An object is placed 10 cm in front of a diverging mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror if the image appears 2 cm behin
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the focal length of the mirror is :  f=-2.5\,\,cm

Explanation:

Use the formula for the formation of image using a divergent mirror and recalling that the image (s') that this mirror formed is virtual, so it is entered as a negative number in the formula. Use the object position (s) as 10, the image position (s') as -2, and derive the value of the focal length:

\frac{1}{s} +\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} -\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{10\,f}{10} -\frac{10\,f}{2}=\frac{10\,f}{f}\\f-5\,f=10\\-4\,f=10\\f=-2.5\,\,cm

While driving, your car has an initial position of 3.2 m, an initial velocity of -8.4 m/s, and
KIM [24]

Answer:

The position of the car at t = 1.5 s is at -8.1625 meters

Explanation:

The initial position of the car is 3.2 meters

The initial velocity is -8.4 m/s

The constant acceleration is 1.1 m/s²

We need to find the final position of the car at the time t = 1.5 seconds

The displacement <em>s</em> = final position - initial position

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}, where <em>u</em> is the initial velocity, <em>a</em> is the

constant acceleration and <em>t</em> is the time

So we can find the final velocity by using the rule:

final position - initial position = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

initial position = 3.2 meters , u = -8.4 m/s , a = 1.1 ²m/s , t = 1.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

final position - 3.2 = (-8.4)(1.5)+\frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.5)^{2}

final position - 3.2 = -12.6 + 1.2375

final position - 3.2 = -11.3625

add 3.2 for both sides

final position = -8.1625

<em>That means the car is at 8.1625 meters in opposite direction</em>

<em>The position of the car at t = 1.5 s is at -8.1625 meters </em>
