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.

The change in kinetic energy of the car is equivalent to the change in its potential energy. Thus:
K.E = P.E
1/2 x mΔv² = mgΔh
h = (8.2² - 5²) / 2(9.81)
h = 2.15 meters

Over [174]

Answer:

Angle of reflection of light is 34 degree

Explanation:

As per law of reflection of light we know that

angle of incidence of light = angle of reflection of light

So here we know that

angle of incidence on the surface of oil is given as

$\theta_i = 34 degree$
