Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.
We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,
speed = distance/time

So, the required time is 
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.
Explanation:
Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.
Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Answer:</h2>
The rate of deceleration is -0.14
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Using one of the equations of motion;
v = u + at
where;
v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)
u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s
a = acceleration of the boat
t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v = 3 minutes
<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>
=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.
<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>
v = u + at
=> 0 = 25 + a(180)
=> 0 = 25 + 180a
<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>
=> 180a = 0 - 25
=> 180a = -25
=> a = -25/180
=> a = -0.14
The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.
Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14
