Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).

Given a force of 100 N and acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

20 kg

Explanation:

remember the equation f=ma.

100 N=force

5 m/s2= acceleration

so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.

Imagine that you're standing in a large room when a loud noise is made.You begin hearing a series of echoes.Which charactestics
e-lub [12.9K]
The correct is  Reverberation. A reverberation is created when a sound or signal is reflected causing a large number of reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space – which could include furniture, people, and air.

Measuring the volume of a ball that is 24cm across how can you set up an equation
BigorU [14]
The volume of every sphere is

           Volume = (4/3) (pi) (radius)³

When you say "across", I think you mean the diameter of the ball.
The radius is half of the diameter = 12 inches.

         Volume = (4/3) (pi) (12 inches)³

                       = (4/3) (pi) (1,728 cubic inches)

                       =    7,238.2 cubic inches .  (rounded)
