A typical carbon atom has six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons. Which of these has the least amount of mass?

1 answer:

6 0

One proton or one neutron have very close to the same mass.

Their mass is about the same as the mass of 1,840 electrons !
So six electrons have roughly the same mass as 0.0033 of one
proton or one neutron.

Yes, these masses are very tiny. None of them was ever measured
until the 20th Century. But all of them have now been measured,
very precisely and accurately. This is very impressive, and should
give us a lot of admiration for scientists of the past hundred years.
It would be very interesting to look around online and find out
how they did it.

Explanation:

It is given that, the force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies inversely as the radius of the curve and jointly as the weight of the car and the square of the car's speed such that,

$F\propto \dfrac{mgv^2}{r}$

$F=\dfrac{kmgv^2}{r}$

mg is the weight of the car

r is the radius of the curve

v is the speed of the car

Case 1.

F = 640 pounds

Weight of the car, W = mg = 2600 pound

Radius of the curve, r = 650 ft

Speed of the car, v = 40 mph

$640=\dfrac{k(2600)(40)^2}{650}$

k = 0.1

Case 2.

Radius of the curve, r = 750 ft

Speed of the car, v = 30 mph

$F=\dfrac{0.1\times 2600\times (30)^2}{750}$

F = 312 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Chemical properties of an acid include...

Igoryamba

This is a list of well known characteristics of acids:

1) acids increase the concentration of hydronum ions ([H3O+]) when dissolved in water

2) acids taste sour

3) many are corrosive (the higher the acidity the higher the corrosive property)

4) when acids react with some metals produce hydrogen gas

5) acids conduct electricity (due to the presence of hydronium ions)

6) acids neutralize bases

7) acids combine with bases to produce water and salt

8) acids lower the pH of solutions.

They do not feel sticky to the touch. Bases fell slippery but there is not that property of sticky sensation about acids, although some highly concentrated strong acids have high viscosity. You cannot touch highly concentrated strong acids.

A chipmunk with a mass of 2 kg sits on a branch that is 10 m off the ground.

I hope I'm not too late.

GPE = mass * gravity * height

GPE = 2 kg * 9.8 m/s * 10

GPE = 196 Joules
