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.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

$\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

$\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2$

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

$\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a$

$\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad$

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

$0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o$

$\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad$

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=maSo when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, mv⃗ mv→, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/hHowever, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.

Answer: Volume = 1080m^3

Explanation:

Given that the prism has a 15 m by 18 m rectangular base and a height of 4 m

Volume is the product of length, breath and height. That is

Volume = L × B × H

Where

L = 18 m

B = 15m

H = 4m

Using the formula above gives:

Volume V = 18 × 15 × 4

V = 1080 m^3
