The mass of helium atoms are higher than predicted given the number of protons. Helium atoms have an actual mass of about 4 amu.

In fact, most atoms seem to be too heavy. Lithium is known to have 3 protons, but a mass of 7 amu, carbon atoms have 6 protons and a mass of 12 amu.
Rutherford proposed the idea that there could also be another particle in the nucleus with the protons. He thought these particles would be neutral and named them neutrons.

How does the idea of a neutron help address the puzzles about the protons in the nucleus and the mass of atoms?

Answer : Helped understand why the mass of each element was what it was.

Explanation: In other words, the discovery of the neutron helped people understand why a certain element had the mass it did. This is because the number of protons plus the number of neutrons equals the mass of an element, which wasn’t known until the discovery of the neutron.

What if water didnt have a negative charge?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The water molecule, as a whole, has 10 protons and 10 electrons, so it is neutral. ... The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.

If a woman needs an amplification of 1.0 ✕ 105 times the threshold intensity to enable her to hear at all frequencies, what is h
Damm [24]

Answer:

50 dB.

Explanation:

given,

Amplification needed by the woman,I= 1 x 10⁵ I₀

where as I₀ is the threshold frequency

overall hearing loss of the woman= ?

Using the equation of sound intensity level

\beta(dB) = 10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

\beta(dB) = 10 log(\dfrac{1\times 10^5\ I_0}{I_0})

\beta(dB) = 10 log(1\times 10^5)

\beta(dB) = 50\ dB

The overall hearing loss of woman is equal to 50 dB.

A 2000 kg truck is traveling at 5 m/s and collides with a 1000 kg car that is not moving. After the collision, the 2000 truck st
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Vilka [71]
Well, I may not know the exact answer, but I can confirm because of mass. The more mass an object has, the less control you have on it, so it can't be stopped easily. Let's take a small rock and a boulder for example. When a small rock rolls on the ground, it can easily be stopped by your hand or foot. But when you have to deal with an enormous boulder, you can't easily stop it with one just person. You'll need more people. So the answer is because the smaller vehicle has a lesser mass than the larger vehicle. (if you are looking for the answer, just look at the end.
