A freely falling object just before hitting the ground has maximum kinetic energy. After falling, it rolls on the rough ground and finally comes to rest. The kinetic energy of the object is used up in doing work against friction; which finally appears as heat energy.

Helium atom has an atomic mass of 4u and two protons in its nucleus. How many neutrons does it have?
Mass number of Helium = 4 Number of protons = 2 Number of neutrons(n) = Number of Mass(A) — Number of proton (P) = 4 – 2 = 2 Thus, No. of neutrons = 2

Calculate the mass of 0.5 mole of N2 gas (mass from mole of molecule).
Molar mass of N2 is 28(since atomic weight of nitrogen is 14and forN2=14*2). So mass of 1 mole of N2 is 28g.Therefore mass of 0.5 mole is 28/2 =14g
