Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
Slug
A slug is a unit of mass primarily used in the imperial system, equal to approximately 32.174 pounds or 14.5939 kilograms.
History/Origin
The slug was introduced in the 19th century as a unit of mass in the imperial system, named after the animal due to its slow movement, and has been used mainly in engineering and physics contexts within the United States.
Current Use
Today, the slug is primarily used in scientific and engineering calculations in the United States, especially in contexts involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by the kilogram in most applications worldwide.
