Physical science1 of 2
The answer
Answer: D. Protons carry a positive charge and sit in the nucleus along with neutrons, which have no charge. Electrons are negatively charged and move around the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number, and it defines which element the atom is. A photon is a particle of light, not part of an atom's structure.

Physical science2 of 2
The answer
Answer: C. Newton's second law says force = mass × acceleration, so acceleration = force ÷ mass = 20 N ÷ 5 kg = 4 m/s². Multiplying the numbers gives 100, which is not an acceleration, and dividing mass by force gives 0.25, which inverts the formula. Subtraction, 20 − 5 = 15, has no basis in the law.
