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.

A fugitive tries to hop a freight train traveling at a constant speed Of 4.5 m/s. Just as a empty box car passes him, the fugiti
Dominik [7]
We use the kinematics equation:
Vf = Vi + a*t
8 = 0 + 3.6 * t
t=2.222s to reach 8.0 m/s

At that time the train has moved
4.5 m/s * 2.222s = 9.999 m

He travelled (another kinematics equation)
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + (2*a*d)
(8.0)^2 = (0)^2 + (2 * 3.6 * d)
d=8.888 m

The train is 9.999m, the fugitive is 8.888m,
He still needs to travel
9.999-8.888= 1.111m

He needs to cover the rest of the distance in a smaller amount of time, however hes at his maximum velocity, so...
8m/s(man) - 4.5m/s(train) = 3.5 m/s more

(1.111m) / (3.5m/s) = .317seconds more to reach the train

So if it takes 2.222 seconds to approach the train at 8.888m, it should take
2.222 + .317 =2.529 seconds to reach the train completely

Last but not least is to figure out the total distance traveled in that time frame:

(Trains velocity) * (total time)

(4.5m/s)*(2.529s)=11.3805m

A wave travels at 13 m/s and the crests are 6 meters apart. How many waves would you see pass you by per second? (round up to th
MrRa [10]

Answer:Number of waves =2.2

Explanation:

The frequency of A wave is defined as the number of waves moving  a fixed point per second which is given as

f=\frac{N}{t}

F= Frequency

N= number of waves

t= time

We first find the frequency

Given velocity of the wave, v = 13m/s

and wavelength, λ as 6meters(distance between two consecutive crest)

, we fiind the frequency using

v= f  λ

frequency = v /  λ

= (13m/s ) / 6

=2.16s-1

f =  \frac{N}{t}

2.16s₋¹=  \frac{N}{1s}

Therefore N, Number of waves =  2.16 waves  rounded up to 2.2 waves

Why is it better to wear a white shirt on a hot summer day instead of a black shirt?
Ronch [10]
When all that body heat hits the white clothing covering it, it gets reflected right back towards the body. ... The best color to keep cool in the heat, it turns out, is to wear black. Black absorbs everything coming in from the sun, sure. But black also absorbs energy from the body instead of reflecting it back.

If an engine cannot be 100%
geniusboy [140]

Answer: Given the evidence in the explanation, I'm pretty sure it's C. It still exists, but in a different form.

Explanation: "Some part of the energy supplied is used to change the internal energy of the system. Some part is also released into the surroundings. Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings."
