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.

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Find the graph attached for the motion.

b). If a shopper walk 5.4 m westwards then 7.8 m eastwards,

   Distance traveled by the shopper = Distance traveled in eastwards + Distance traveled westwards

                                                            = 5.4 + 7.8

                                                            = 13.2 m

c). Displacement of the shopper = Distance walked westwards - Distance traveled eastwards

                                                      = 5.4 - 7.8

                                                      = -2.4 m

Therefore, magnitude of the displacement of the shopper is = 2.4 m

And the direction of the displacement is eastwards.

The body went 450 meters within 30 seconds of starting the movement. In what time did the first 50 meters go?
Andrew [12]

3.33 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can find the speed of the body using the formula,

Speed = Distance traveled in meters /  time taken in seconds

= 450 m / 30 seconds

= 15 m/s

So per second the distance traveled by the body is 15 m.

So time needed to travel 50 m can be found as,

time = distance/speed

= 50 m / 15 m /s

= 3.33 s

What is the speed of a car traveling 100 m in 20 s?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: To answer this question, we will need the following equation: SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (A multiplication and division triangle will be shown)i) The speed of the car is calculated by doing 100 metres/ 20 seconds which gives us 5 metres per second. ii) Rearranging the equation earlier, we can make the distance the subject of the equation so that we get SPEED x TIME = DISTANCE. We worked out the speed and the time was given as 1 minute 40 seconds but we cannot plug in the numbers yet as the time has to be converted to units of seconds (because our speed is in meters per second). 1 minute 40 seconds = 60 seconds + 40 seconds = 100 secondsWe then plug in the numbers to get the distance travelled = 5 metres per second x 100 seconds = 500 metres.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
