It tells us the number of protons that are present in the nucleus, the positively charged region of that atom.
Answer:
because when an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass starts to increase exponentially, and would be infinite at the speed of light. It would therefore require MORE than an infinite amount of energy to accelerate even a single electron to the speed of light
Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg
Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
To find: The change in potential energy of the stone
Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh
where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.
Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone
Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)
or, = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)
or, = 4.9 J
Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J
Momentum = mass x velocity
12 = 4 x v | ÷ both sides by 4
12 ÷ 4 =v
v= 3 m/s
