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.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

The heavy bag of groceries is initially within the inertia frame of the car. This indicates that the heavy bag acquires the same speed as the car.

When the car stops, the heavy bag continues to move forward with the speed it had due to the principle of inertia, which states the property that the bodies cannot modify by themselves the state of rest or movement in which they are.

Have a nice day!

Exercise 1 Electric Fields In this exercise, you will use a digital multimeter to collect voltage data to graph electric fields.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation section below

Explanation:

1) The generalization that can be made from the exploration is that as we move away from the positive electrode, the potential energy gets lower. If we move away from the negative electrode, then the potential energy becomes higher.

2) The positive test charge will have the least potential energy when it gets to the negative electrode point.

3) To move one electron 1m in a direction along one of the equal potential lines, there is no energy needed. Zero work will be required for a charge to move on the equipotential line.

4) If lightning strikes a tree 20m away, it would be better to face the tree or have our back facing the tree. This is because the equipotential line will be present at the point where our body stands, this will protect from electric shock.

The pattern to be sketched is attached.

Imagine you’re an engineer making a string of battery powered holiday lights. If a bulb burns out current cannot flow through th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 2 light bulbs can be connected in parallel to each other to avoid disconnection when one bulb burns out.

Explanation:

The parallel connection is required not series. A parallel connection is the connection of electronic components (e.g bulbs, LED, resistors, capacitors etc) in such a way that the same voltage is supplied across the ends of the components.  While in a series connection, the components are connected to each other end-to-end.

As regard the question, parallel connection ensures that the brightness any of the bulbs is not affected with respect to the other bulbs. And other bulbs continue to function when any burns out. The 2 light bulbs should be connected in parallel to the baterry to avoid disconnection of all the bulbs.
