1 answer:

4 0

Atoms ere electrically neutral because they have equal number of protons and electrons. If an atom lose or gain one or more electrons it becomes an ion.

How should the student change the circuit to give negative values for current and

natulia [17]

Answer:

changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current

Explanation:

The sign of current and voltage are due to established conventions.

The way that a DC circuit with negative current values is by changing the polarity of the power source or by inverting the battery, this creates that the electrons move in the opposite direction

Changing the battery also changes the direction of the power difference, since the potential from positive to negative, in most cases negative is assigned a potential of zero volts

In summary, changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current

Let’s look at a radio-controlled model car. Suppose that at time t1=2.0st1=2.0s the car has components of velocity vx=1.0m/svx=1

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2$ and $a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2$

Magnitude of accleration is $6\ \text{m/s}^2$ and the direction is $0^{\circ}$

Explanation:

$t_1=2\ \text{s}$

$v_x=1\ \text{m/s}$

$v_y=3\ \text{m/s}$

$t_2=2.5\ \text{s}$

$v_x=4\ \text{m/s}$

$v_y=3\ \text{m/s}$

Average acceleration in the different axes

$a_x=\dfrac{\Delta v_x}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow a_x=\dfrac{4-1}{2.5-2}\\\Rightarrow a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2$

$a_y=\dfrac{\Delta v_y}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow a_y=\dfrac{3-3}{2.5-2}\\\Rightarrow a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2$

The components of the acceleration is $a_x=6\ \text{m/s}^2$ and $a_y=0\ \text{m/s}^2$

The magnitude of acceleration

$a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{6^2+0^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6\ \text{m/s}^2$

Direction

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{0}{6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=0^{\circ}$

The magnitude of accleration is $6\ \text{m/s}^2$ and the direction is $0^{\circ}$ .

A scientist performs an experiment on an unknown element. She finds that the element forms an ionic bond with beryllium (Be) but

Bumek [7]

To fill up all of the valence electrons we must have 8 electrons total to have an ionic bond. In this case Lithium is in group 1 and so only has 1 valence electron and so it can bond with elements from group 17, since 7 + 1 = 8. However, this unknown element did bond with beryllium, and beryllium is in group 2 so it must bond with an atom that has 6 valence electrons. The elements that have 6 valence electrons are in group 16 not group 2. So the result does not support her conclusion.
