Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.

What are particles of similar mass contained within?

Particles of similar mass are often contained within atomic nuclei, where protons and neutrons reside. These nucleons have comparable masses and are held together by the strong nuclear force. Additionally, in particle physics, similar mass particles can be found in various subatomic particle families or groups, such as mesons and baryons, which are composed of quarks.

What really causes gravity?

There are 2 leading theories, one is the theory of relativity and one is quantum gravity. The first one says that every single thing in this universe lies on a plane called space time. Massive objects curve this spacetime and attracts other masses, similar to water going down a funnel. Another theory is that masses exchange massless particles known as gravitons, these exchanges (Similar to electromagnetic attraction and the strong force) attract the 2 masses together. Too bad they don't work out very well with each other.


Masses are to newtons gravitational law as charges are to what?

Charges are to Coulomb's law. Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles, similar to how Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between two masses.


A system of particles is composed of n freely moving particles Is the mass of this system equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particle?

Yes, the mass of the system is equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particles. The total mass of a system of particles is simply the sum of the masses of all the particles that constitute the system.


What are particles or similar mass called neutrons and protons contained within?

Neutrons and protons are collectively referred to as nucleons. They are the particles found in the nucleus of an atom and have similar masses, with neutrons being neutral and protons carrying a positive charge. Together, they contribute to the atomic number and mass of an element, playing a crucial role in the stability and behavior of atoms.
