Why do atoms have an overall neutral charge?

Physics
2 answers:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A green light is submerged 2.70 m beneath the surface of a liquid with an index of refraction 1.31. What is the radius of the ci
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The radius is  r = 3.1905 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The  distance  beneath the liquid  is  d =  2.70 \ m

        The refractive index of the liquid is  n_i  =  1.31

Now the critical value is mathematically represented as

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{n_i} ]

substituting values

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{131} ]

         \theta  =  49.76^o

Using SOHCAHTOA rule we have that

         tan \theta =  \frac{ r}{d}

=>     r =  d * tan \theta

substituting values  

        r =  2.7 * tan (49.76)

        r = 3.1905 \ m

Mechanical advantage of a second class lever is always greater than one why? give reason​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

It is <u><em>because the load is in between fulcrum and effort making a longer effort arm than the load arm resulting to multiplication of force and a mechanical advantage of greater than 1.</em></u>

Explanation:

The distance from the fulcrum to the effort is the effort arm where as the distance from the fulcrum to the load is the load arm.

The first class lever has a mechanical advantage that varies per the position of the load with respect to effort position from the fulcrum. They have the fulcrum at the middle. For example, a beam balance and a pliers. The formula to remember is FLE for easy categorization of the lever classes.

The second class lever , the load is at the middle.For example a wheel barrow and a bottle opener. In this class, the effort arm is longer than the load arm.The effort is force multiplication making the mechanical advantage to be greater than 1.

The third class of lever has effort in the middle.For example a spade or a knife.In this class effort arm is shorter than the load arm, causing change in direction of force. The effect is a mechanical advantage less than 1.
