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.

oksian1 [2.3K]
Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

What is the best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most
forsale [732]

A. Getting a full set of valence electrons

Explanation:

The best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most atoms is the getting of a full set of valence electrons.

Atoms reacts with one another in order to complete valence electronic shell.

  • The valence electron shell is the outermost energy level of an atom.
  • It is from this energy level that electrons are lost or gained to form bonds.
  • All atoms wants to be like the noble gases whose valence electronic shell is completely filled up
  • This is the crux of chemical bonding
  • The attraction that is produced from the interaction leads to bond formation
