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

A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio
Bumek [7]

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s        speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U =  -20 m/s        speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame

So  V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s

It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add

a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.

Assume that at sea-level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/m3.
scoundrel [369]

Answer

Pressure, P = 1 atm

air density, ρ = 1.3 kg/m³

a) height of the atmosphere when the density is constant

   Pressure at sea level = 1 atm = 101300 Pa

   we know

   P = ρ g h

   h = \dfrac{P}{\rho\ g}

   h = \dfrac{101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

          h = 7951.33 m

height of the atmosphere will be equal to 7951.33 m

b) when air density decreased linearly to zero.

  at x = 0  air density = 0

  at x= h   ρ_l = ρ_sl

 assuming density is zero at x - distance

 \rho_x = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x

now, Pressure at depth x

dP = \rho_x g dx

dP = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x g dx

integrating both side

P = g\dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times \int_0^h x dx

P =\dfrac{\rho_{sl}\times g h}{2}

 now,

h=\dfrac{2P}{\rho_{sl}\times g}

h=\dfrac{2\times 101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

  h = 15902.67 m

height of the atmosphere is equal to 15902.67 m.
