Rina's remote-controlled helicopter was on the ground with fully charged batteries. she turned the helicopter on and flew it straight up to its maximum altitude. she continued flying the helicopter at its maximum altitude until its batteries ran out of charge and the helicopter's engines stopped. the helicopter fell toward the ground and got stuck in the branches of a tree. when was the least gravitational potential energy stored between the helicopter and earth?

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
