Answer:

in the nucleus

Explanation:

The majority of mass of an atom consists in the nucleus which consists of protons and neutrons. The mass of a proton is 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms and the mass of neutron is 1.674929 x 10⁻²⁷ kg while the mass of an electron is 9.109390 x 10⁻³¹ kg.

As it can be seen that the masses of both the protons and neutrons are higher than that of an electron the most mass lies in the nucleus.

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.
