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.

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

A book that weighs 19 Newtons sits on a table. With what force
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.
