The atomic mass is C. 15

Atomic mass = P + N = 7+8 = 15

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of the protons and neutrons. On the other hand, the atomic number of a neutral element is equivalent to the number of protons or electrons. This is because a neutral element should have equal number of protons and electrons.

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.

A man throws a ball straight up to his friend on a balcony who catches it at its highest point. The ball was thrown with an init
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² -  2gh

0 = u² -  2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

<u>E = 3456 J</u>

MArishka [77]

Answer:

solar wind

Explanation:

the sun's atmosphere is made of hydrogen which itself made subatomic particle. These particle are constantly boiling off the sun and streaming outward at very speed. So, the sun's magnetic field and particles are called solar wind.
