__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

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

Which projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?
NemiM [27]
Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

An electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.
snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

           Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

                                             (12 V)  x  (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

           (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min)  =  21,600 joules

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?
Bogdan [553]
The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.

The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north
