Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

It is expressed as a multiple of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-12 atom, 1.992646547 × 10^−23 gram, which is assigned an atomic mass of 12 units. In this scale, 1 atomic mass unit (amu) corresponds to 1.660539040 × 10^−24 gram.

A truck with a mass of 1370 kg and moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s rear-ends a 593 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collis

Elza [17]

Answer:

speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

mass of truck M = 1370 kg

speed of truck = 12.0 m/s

mass of car m = 593 kg

collision is elastic therefore,

Applying law of momentum conservation we have

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

1370×12 + 0( initially car is at rest) = 1370×v1+ 593×v2 ....(i)

Also for a collision to be elastic,

velocity of approach = velocity of separation

12 -0 = v2-v1 ....(ii)

using (i) and (ii) we have

So speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a) x₁ = 290.50 feet , x₂ = 169.74 feet , b) v_max= 41 mph

Explanation:

For this exercise we will work in two parts, the first with Newton's second law to find the acceleration of vehicles

X Axis fr = m a

Y Axis N-W = 0

N = W = mg

The force of friction has the expression

fr = μ N

We replace

μ mg = ma

a = μ g

g = 32 feet / s²

Let's calculate the acceleration for each coefficient and friction

μ a (feet / s2)

0.599 19.168

0.536 17,152

0.480 15.360

0.350 11.200

These are the acceleration values, for the maximum distance we use the minimum acceleration (a₁ = 11,200 feet / s²) and for the minimum braking distance we use the maximum acceleration (x₂ = 19,168 feet / s²)

v² = v₀² - 2 a x

When the speed stops it is zero

x₁ = v₀² / 2 a₁

Let's reduce speed

v₀ = 55mph (5280 foot / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 80,667 feet / s²

Let's calculate the maximum braking distance

x₁ = 80.667² / (2 11.2)

x₁ = 290.50 feet

The minimum braking distance

x₂ = 80.667² / (2 19.168)

x₂ = 169.74 feet

b) maximum speed to stop at distance x = 155 feet

0 = v₀² - 2 a x

v₀ = √2 a x

We calculate the speed for the two accelerations

v₀₁ = √ (2 11.2 155)

v₀₁ = 58.92 feet / s

v₀₂ = √ (2 19.168 155)

v₀₂ = 77.08 feet / s

To stop at the distance limit in the worst case the maximum speed must be 58.92 feet / s = 40.85 mph = 41 mph

A hiker walks due East for a distance of 6 km

solniwko [45]

Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Her resultant displacement can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

$H^{2} = P^{2} + B^{2}$

= $4^{2} + 6^{2}$

= 52

H = $\sqrt{52}$ = 7.211 km

Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a lightbulb if the voltage increase but the resistance stay the same?

artcher [175]

The first question is how much of a voltage increase are we looking at. If it has a 110 voltage rating and you put it across a 220 source, you will see one flash and then the bulb is no more. Nothing will revive it.

If it is rated at 110 and you put 130 across it, there's no problem but the bulb will burn out sooner than it would if you just put 110 across it.

So you raise the voltage and the resistance stays the same, the current will increase. That's why it will burn out sooner.

V = I * R

The equation is a direct variation. If the voltage goes up the current goes up. If the voltage goes down, the current goes down providing that the resistance stays the same in both cases.

The second question is what is resistance? Resistance in Electricity is the ability of an electric current to go in one direction freeing up as many electrons as it can. The MORE free electrons, the lower the resistance. The FEWER free electrons the higher the resistance.

Here' the kicker. Ready? More and Less are probably the two most important words in beginning science.

The More the resistance, the Less the current flow. That's a really important consideration in battery drain in a watch (or modern day calculator). The More the Battery Drain, the Less time it will last.

Always be careful when more and Less are around.
