Answer:

Explanation:

The concept of the atom originated round 440 BC. Leucippus of Miletus came up with the idea. ... Atoms were impenetrably hard, meaning they could not be divided. In Greek, the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos, a Greek word meaning uncuttable.

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the _____ and the ________ of an object.
babymother [125]

Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy  gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j

How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell? biochemistry
tekilochka [14]
A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />
