Why do atoms have an overall neutral charge?

Physics
2 answers:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom has equal number of protons and electrons. The charge of an electron and a proton is same but opposite in nature. So, the total charge on the atom is zero and thus an atom is said to be neutral.

Atoms have an overall charge that is neutral because atoms have equal number of positive protons and negative electrons thus they cancel each other out. This always true for atoms that are stable and in equilibrium.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1) 0.51 seconds.

2) 1.45 m/s.

Explanation:

given, height from which cat falls = 1.3 m

we know that, s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at².

here if we consider cat moment only in downward direction,

intial velocity of cat in downward direction , u = 0.

so, time, t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

⇒ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.3)}{9.81} } = 0.51 seconds.

t = 0.51 seconds.

now, consider cat moment only in forward direction

s = ut , since acceleration is zero in forward direction

⇒ u = \frac{s}{t}.

so, u = \frac{0.75}{0.51} = 1.45 m/s .

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?
drek231 [11]
The best answer is 
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged

Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

How to calculate the number of protons and neutrons in elements
Nuetrik [128]
The atomic number is the number of protons. So, you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.
I hope this helps! :)
