Answer: c. one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Explanation: An atomic mass unit ( amu) is defined as $\frac{1}{12}$ of the mass of an atom of carbon with mass number 12 , which is the most abundant isotope of carbon. Thus the carbon-12 atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus.

1 amu is approximately equal to $1.67377\times 10^{-27}kg$ or $1.67377\times 10^{-24} g$ . The mass of an atom in amu is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

amu is used to differentiate between isotopes as they would have different mass.

How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3

Hitman42 [59]

There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero. Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero.
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s

Answer:

T₂ =602 °C

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 227°C =227+273 K

T₁ =500 k

Gauge pressure at condition 1 given = 100 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 1 will be

P₁ = 100 + 100 KPa

P₁ =200 KPa

Gauge pressure at condition 2 given = 250 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 2 will be

P₂ = 250 + 100 KPa

P₂ =350 KPa

The temperature at condition 2 = T₂

We know that

$\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=T_1\times \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=500\times \dfrac{350}{200}\ K\\$

T₂ = 875 K

T₂ =875- 273 °C

T₂ =602 °C
