Answer:

Explanation:

The moving charged particles in an electric current are called charge carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal. These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.

The flow of electrons in a direction is known as electric current. The tendency of attraction between the positive and negative charges makes electric current flow through a wire

Weight on planet Mars

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Mars: 0.38

weight = mass x surface gravity

multiplying your weight on Earth by the number above will give you your weight on the surface of Mars

If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars

If an atomic nucleus were the size of a dime how far away might one of its electrons be?

mihalych1998 [28]

The radius of a nucleus of hydrogen is approximately $r_{n1}=1\cdot 10^{-15}m$ , while we can use the Borh radius as the distance of an electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom: $r_{e1}=5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m$

The radius of a dime is approximately $r_{n2} = 9\cdot 10^{-3}m$ : if we assume that the radius of the nucleus is exactly this value, then we can find how far is the electron by using the proportion
$r_{n1}:r_{e1}=r_{n2}:r_{e2}$
from which we find
$r_{e2}= \frac{r_{e1} r_{n2}}{r_{n1}}= \frac{(5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m)(9\cdot 10^{-3}m)}{1 \cdot 10^{-15}m}=477 m$

So, if the nucleus had the size of a dime, we would find the electron approximately 500 meters away.
