Within an atom, there are three elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. Most of the mass of an atom is situated within the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are the heaviest subatomic particles. The electrons within the atom, orbit around the nucleus at a very far distance. Electrons are also a part of the lightest group of subatomic particles called leptons. That is why these electrons don't contribute much to the majority of an atoms mass. They are very light and they orbit at very far distances.

Most mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus of the atom. The nucleus is located at the center of the atom which contains the subatomic particles such as neutrons and protons. Neutrons bear no charge while protons are subatomic particles with positive charges. The electron do not make up much of the mass because they just surround the nucleus

bekas [8.4K]

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The raw materials.

Explanation:

The starting point of every manufactured object is the raw material. In the value system of the film industry, the starting point is the raw material which includes chemicals used in the manufacture of films and cameras.

Therefore, If we think of the value system, as a river, and each stop along the river is a port where value was added. The starting point, the furthest upstream, in the value system in the film industry is the raw materials.

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is
IgorLugansk [536]
At rest because if the distance is not changing, then it is not moving any further, so it must not be moving! The time keeps going no matter what, so the distance, whether it is 0 m or 10,000 km, if the y is horizontal the distance does not change.
