Proton Mass
The proton mass (m_p) is the mass of a proton, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The proton mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving atomic and nuclear physics, notably by Ernest Rutherford and subsequent researchers refining the value through scattering experiments and mass spectrometry.
Current Use
The proton mass is used as a fundamental constant in physics and chemistry, serving as a standard unit of mass in atomic and nuclear calculations, and is essential in defining atomic mass units and understanding nuclear reactions.
Quarter (Us)
A quarter (US) is a unit of weight equal to one-fourth of a pound, commonly used in measuring precious metals and other small quantities.
History/Origin
The quarter originated from the traditional British weight system and was adopted in the United States as a subdivision of the pound. It has historically been used in commerce and trade for precise measurements.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is primarily used in the United States for measuring precious metals, jewelry, and small quantities of certain commodities. It is part of the customary units in the 'Weight and Mass' category within common converters.
