An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons.

REY [17]

Answer:

   F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law,  we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis  

       N- W = 0

       N = mg

X axis

       F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

       F- fr = 0

       F = fr

the friction force has the equation

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ mg

we substitute

        F = μ mg

let's calculate

         F = 0.80 9.8 25

         F = 196 N

19. What do vibrations create?<br><br> Wavelengths<br> sound waves<br> energy<br> electricity
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

When an object vibrates, it creates kinetic energy that is transmitted by molecules in the medium. As the vibrating sound wave comes in contact with air particles passes its kinetic energy to nearby molecules. As these energized molecules begin to move, they energize other molecules that repeat the process.

What is a newton defined as<br>​
slava [35]

Answer:

Newton, absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units), abbreviated N. It is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second.

A cyclist travels 36km in 3 hours. What is the cyclist’s average speed?
dybincka [34]
To determine what the cyclists average speed is, simply divide the distance the cyclist has travelled by the time the cyclist has traveled for.

Assuming that this is the average rate the cyclist is moving at it would be 12 km/hr.
