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 car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration
Lilit [14]
Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2

The particles of the medium (slinky in this case) move up and down (choice #2) in a transverse wave scenario.

This is the defining characteristic of transverse waves, like particles on the surface of water while a wave travels on it, or like particles in a slack rope when someone sends a wave through by giving it a jolt.

The other kind of waves is longitudinal, where the particles of the medium move "left-and-right" along the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of the slinky, this would be achieved by giving a tensioned slinky an "inward" jolt. You would see that such a jolt would give rise to a longitudinal wave traveling along the length of the tensioned slinky. Another example of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
