D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

A e limb of mass 12kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 27 N of froce on the limb as it falls, what is the net force
Gelneren [198K]
During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.

So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force
