I am 100% sure it is 10 AMUS

The right answer is 10 amu.

The unit of unified atomic mass, of symbol "u", is a standard unit of measure, used to express the mass of atoms and molecules.

This unit does not belong to the International System (SI), and its value is obtained experimentally. It is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a nuclide 12C (carbon 12), unbound at rest and in its ground state. In other words, a 12C atom has a mass of exactly 12u, and a mole of 12C atoms (N atoms, where N is the number of Avogadro) has a mass of exactly 12g. As a result, 1 u is approximately 1.660 538 921 × 10-27 kg.

The average mass of a nucleon depends on the total number of nucleons in the atomic nucleus, because of the mass defect. This is why the mass of a proton or a neutron taken separately is strictly greater than 1 u.

In the nucleus, we can see that there are 10 nucleons (protons and neutrons) so the mass of the atom is close to 10amu.

How is a society likely to address the problem of overuse of wildlife
Marianna [84]

Answer:

C. By creating laws or traditions that regulate hunting and fishing

Explanation:

Wildlife resources refer to wild animals (terrestrial, aquatic etc) in their natural habitat. Wildlife is an integral part of our society, however, they are being overexploited by human activities.

According to the options in the question, one way to address the problem of over use of wildlife resources is by creating laws or traditions that regulate hunting and fishing. Laws that compel hunting and fishing, which are the means humans over use wildlife, will help bring the rate at which these resources are used.

For example, creating a law that prohibits hunting in certain areas will help preserve wildlife in that area because it is a punishable offence by the law to hunt. Hence, wildlife resources will be preserved.

What will happen in an electrical current flow through a wire?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

When current flows through a conductor such as a copper wire, all of those electrons that were previously moving about randomly get together and start moving in the same direction. A very interesting effect then happens: The electrons transfer their electromagnetic force through the wire almost instantaneously.
