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

Physics

Butoxors [25]3 years ago
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.

A billion years ago, Earth and its moon were just 200000 kilometers apart. Express this distance in meters.​
Luda [366]

Answer:

The  value is  x =  200000000 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  distance between the earth and the moon is  d  =  200000 \  km

Generally ,

     1 \  km  =  1000 \  m

      200000 \  km \to x \  m

=>    x = \frac{200000 *  1000}{1 }

=>   x =  200000000 \  m

Two cars A and B are 100m apart moving towards each other with
maxonik [38]

Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is

A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>

and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of

B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

<em />

They meet when their positions are equal:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m

<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s

so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.

They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m

(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m

<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s

so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
