Which statement(s) correctly compare the masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons? Check all that apply
2 answers:
__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
- 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:
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

Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11
Explanation:
Given;
initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s
sliding distance, S = 42 m
From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;
v² = u² + 2as
0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a
- 84a = 86.49
a = -86.49/84
|a| = 1.0296
= ma
where;
Fk is the frictional force
μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction
N is the normal reaction = mg
μkmg = ma
μkg = a
μk = a/g
where;
g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²
μk = a/g
μk = 1.0296/9.8
μk = 0.11
Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11
