Module 2. Physics

The Mass of a Proton is approximately

  • approximately 500 times the mass of an electron.
  • equal to approximately half the mass of a neutron.
  • 2000 times greater than the mass of an electron.

Explanation

A proton is roughly 1,836 times heavier than an electron, so of the choices given, about 2,000 times greater is correct. A proton and a neutron have nearly the same mass, so the proton is not half a neutron's mass.

yousif.zayani asking:

mass of proton is = mass of an electron thats the answer ?
