Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. This was discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the gold foil experiment.

These baryons are further made up of sub-atomic fundamental particles known as quarks joined by the strong interaction.

Nuclei are bound together by the residual strong force (nuclear force). This force or baryon is much weaker between neutrons and protons because it is mostly neutralized within them, in the same way that electromagnetic forces between neutral atoms (such as van der Waals forces that act between two inert gas atoms) are much weaker than the electromagnetic forces that hold the parts of the atoms together internally.

Answer:

Explanation:the atom consists of a tiny nucleus at its center which is surrounded by a moving electrons. The nucleus contains a positively charged proton equal in size with the negatively charged electrons . The nucleus also may contain neutrons which have the same mass with the protons but no charge is neutral.

which object has the most gravitational potential energy? A. an 8 kg book at a height of 3m B. an 5 kg book at a height of 3 m C
astra-53 [7]
I think A is the correct answer because its high is more higher compared to the others, and the mass really does not matter, to know the gravitational potential energy, we need to know how high the object is located because gravity does not show any favor to an object that has more mass or an object that doesnt

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time to cover first 100 km = 1 hour.

time remaining = 3.15 - 1 = 2.15 hour .

Time to cover next 42 km = 1 hour .

Time remaining = 2.15-1 = 1.15 hour.

Distance to be covered = 310 - 142

= 168 km

least speed needed = distance remaining / time remaining

= 168 / 1.15

= 146.08 km / h .
