__Protons and neutrons have similar mass.

__Electrons are smaller than a proton or a neutron.

Explanation:

The three particles involved in this problem are:

  • Proton: it is positively charge, it is found in the nucleus of the atom, and its mass is m_p = 1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg
  • Neutron: it has no electric charge, it is also found in the nucleus of the atom, and its mass is approximately equal to that of the proton (just slightly larger)
  • Electron: it has negative electric charge, it orbit around the nucleus of the atom, and its mass is much smaller than that of the proton: m_e = 9.11 \cdot 10^{-31} kg

We can now analyze each of the given statement:

__Protons and neutrons have similar mass.  --> TRUE

__Protons and electrons have similar mass.  --> FALSE, the electron is much lighter

__Neutrons and electrons have similar mass.  --> FALSE, the neutron is much heavier

__Protons are smaller than a neutron or an electron.  --> FALSE, protons are similar to the neutrons

__Neutrons are smaller than a proton or an electron.  --> FALSE, neutrons are similar to the protons

__Electrons are smaller than a proton or a neutron. --> TRUE

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

Which of the following has both kinetic and potential energy?
zysi [14]
It should be A.
A ball bouncing is moving so if it’s moving that means it has kinetic energy. It also has potential energy because when it hits the floor it kind of stops so it has potential.

-Hope this helps.
