Question

OpenStudy (hunus):

"imagine that we hae measured the inertial masses of a proton and an electron, separately, and that we then let them come together to form a hydrogen atom. Is the inertial mass of the atom equal to the sum of the masses of the electron and proton? No; it is a shade less. Why? Because in the formation of the atom with the binding together of the proton and electron, the equivalent of a tiny amount of mass escapes in the form of radiation." Can someone explain why this is?

how to make graphs of positive and negative accelration

OpenStudy (hunus):

How do you mean?

OpenStudy (hunus):

How does one go about constructing an acceleration vs. time graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually, i get confused about slopes in 4th quadrant

OpenStudy (hunus):

What is it that confuses you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know

OpenStudy (hunus):

If you give me an example of what confuses you I will be glad to help
