Answer: The force on the firefly
The unfortunate firefly hitting the bus does not change the velocity of the bus very much. Technically there is a change, but it's so very small and miniscule that it barely registers. To any casual observer not paying very close attention, they don't notice anything at all. So effectively the force on the firefly is a lot greater since the firefly got the worst end of the deal.
So in short, we look at the velocity of each object and see which velocity changed the most. In this case, the firefly's velocity changed from whatever speed it was flying to 0 when it stops flying all together. That's why the force is greater on the bug.
Answer:
621.2090000000001 grams
Explanation:
1 moles Calcium to grams = 40.078 grams
15.5*40.078 = 621.2090000000001 g
Okay, to explain this you might have to grab a periodic table.
Do you have one? Good. Look at the most left side of the periodic table. The first group is the largest atoms in the periodic table. If you go to the right of the periodic table, the atoms get progressively smaller and smaller.
Why is this? Don't atoms get more electrons, and so become significantly bigger as they move to the right?
Although atoms do get more electrons as they go to the right, they also get more protons too. Protons pull on electrons and make atoms smaller. Because of this, going from left to right in a periodic table makes the atoms smaller and smaller, since more and more protons are added.
In this scenario, Aluminum is more to the right than Sodium, which means that it has more protons. Because of this, the protons in Aluminum pull more strongly on electrons than sodium, thus making aluminum smaller.
(Just a side note, going down in a periodic table makes the atoms bigger, since new shells are added every time)
Good luck! If you need any help, just ask :))
