3) A "free" neutron (that is, one outside of a nucleus) is unstable and decays into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. In this decay reaction, the sum of the kinetic energies of the proton, electron, and antineutrino has been measured to be 1.25 × 10¬13 J. The mass of the proton is 1.6726 × 10-27 kg, the mass of the electron is 9 × 10¬31 kg, and the mass of the antineutrino is much smaller than the electron mass (and can be ignored). Calculate the mass of the neutron from this information. Report at least 5 significant figures in your final answer.

you need to construct a 180 pF capacitor for a science project. You plan to cut two LXL metal squares and insert small Sqaccers between their corners. The thinnest spacers you have are 0.30mm thick. What is the proper value of L? A) 12. 14.7cm B) 16.0cm c) 2.6cm D) 7.8 cmm
Give some objects that has a capacitor that we use in daily living and their uses.
Q.5 Analyze the degree of freedom or how many independent controllers to be incorporated for the blending system model shown by equations: - x2 dV_ 1 V (Wi + wz - w) dx WI di = . (x1 -- x) + Vp (x2- x).
What's the capacitance of the object below this? it's two cuboids. Thank you
ou have a summer job as an assistant technician for a telephone company in California.During a recent earthquake, a 1.0-mile long underground telephone line is crushed atsome point. This telephone line is made up of two parallel copper wires of the samediameter and same length, which are normally not connected. At the place where theline is crushed, the two wires make contact. Your boss wants you to find this placeso that the wire can be dug up and fixed. You disconnect the line from the telephonesystem by disconnecting both wires of the line at both ends. You then go to one end ofthe line and connect one terminal of a 6.0-V battery to one wire, and the other terminalof the battery to one terminal of an ammeter. When the other terminal of the ammeteris connected to the other wire, the ammeter shows that the current through the wire is1.0 A. You then disconnect everything and travel to the other end of the telephone line,where you repeat the process and find a current of 1/3 A.

The question is about electromagnetism. Two positive charges Q are located on the x-axis at points a and -a . We place the positive charge q between these two electric charges. Write its potential energy at a stable equilibrium point and calculate the frequency of small oscillations.
At what points would an electron and an proton be at equilibrium, respectively?
