Mass of an electron = 9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
Mass of a proton = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

∴ mass of a proton/mass of an electron = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg/9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
                                                               ~1836

∴ mass of a proton = 1836 x mass of an electron.
∴ mass of an electron is insignificant to the mass of an atom.

∴mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

The mass of an electron is <u>C. not significant to the overall mass of the atom</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons

The charge of 1 proton is equal to a charge of 1 electron but has a different sign

The proton is positively charged (+1), the electron is negatively charged (-1). and neutrons not charged (neutral)

For a charge of 1 electron = e = 1.66.10⁻¹⁹ coulomb

Whereas the neutron charge = 0

The mass of this basic particle is expressed in atomic mass units  

This atomic unit uses the standard atomic mass, that is, the C-12 isotope

1 atom C-12 = 12 atomic mass units

1 atomic mass unit = 1/12 x 1 C-12 atomic mass

The hydrogen atom is the lightest atom whose mass is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg (measured using a mass spectrometer) and simplified to 1 amu (atomic mass unit).

1 amu = 1,66.10⁻²⁴ grams

The mass of each basic particle in atomic mass units is:

  • electron mass = 9.11.10⁻²⁸
  • proton mass = 1.6726.10⁻²⁴
  • neutron mass = 1,675.10⁻²⁴

The proton mass is considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit and a neutron which is also considered to be equal to 1 atomic mass unit

 

So if we look at the numbers above, it shows that the electron mass is smaller than the proton mass and neutron mass, and not significant to the overall mass of the atom

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

Future space stations could create an artificial gravity by rotating. Consider a cylindrical space station that rotates with a p
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

P = 2 pi R / v    period of space station

F / m = v^2 / R    centripetal force per unit of mass

So F / m = 4 pi^2 R^2 / (P^2 * R) = 4 pi^2 R / P^2

Also, F / m = 9.8 m/s^2   earth's gravitational attraction

So 9.8 = 4 pi^2 R / P^2    or    R = 9.8 P^2 / 4 * pi^2) = 195 m

Or D = 2 R = 390 m the diameter required

A nonzero net force acts on a particle and does work. Which one of the following statements is true?
arlik [135]

Answer:

option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

According to the work energy theorem, the work done by all forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body.

the kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the body.

As the kinetic energy change, the speed of the body also change.

Option (D) is correct.

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

K=0.023J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.15

Velocity v=0.5m/s

Angular Velocity \omega=8.4rad/s

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

K=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2+\frac{1}{2}R^2\omega^2)

K=\frac{1}{2}0.15(0.5^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.038)^2.(8.4rad/s^2))

K=0.023J
