<span>A Neutral, stable atom has no charge as it has an equal number of Protons and Electrons. An Atom gains a charge by the loss or gain of electrons thus becoming an Ion. The loss of 1 or more electrons will give the atom a Positive charge (now having more Protons then Neutrons) and becomes a Positive Ion (or Cation).  hope that helped</span>

if a runners power is 400 watts as she runs, how much chemical energy does she convert into other forms in 10 minutes
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Energy converted = 240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

Explanation:

Recall that Power is the rate at which energy is transferred therefore defined by the mathematical formula: Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}

Since the information on the power of the runner is given, as well as the time the energy conversion takes place, we can then use this equation to find how much energy is been converted. Notice that we just need to change the given time *10 minutes) into the appropriate units  (seconds)to get the answer in SI units of energy (Joules). The conversion of 10 minutes into seconds is done by multiplying : 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds.

We use this then to find the energy converted by the runner:

Power\,=\,\frac{Energy\,transferred}{time}\\400 \,W = \frac{E}{600\,sec} \\400 \,W * 600\,sec=E\\E=240000\,Joules = 240\, kJoules

a coin press creates a pressure of 3.20*10^8 Pa on a nickel of radius 0.0106 m. how much force does the press exert on the coin?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.13 x 10⁵N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the coin press = 3.2 x 10⁸ Pa

radius of the nickel coin = 0.0106m

Unknown:

Force of the press on coil = ?

Solution:

Our knowledge of pressure will help us solve this problem.

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area on a body.

              Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

  Force = Pressure  x  Area

 Since the pressure is known;

Area of the coin = Area of a circle = π r²

 where r is the radius of the coin;

Area of the coin = π x 0.0106²  = 3.53 x 10⁻⁴m²

  Force = 3.2 x 10⁸ x  3.53 x 10⁻⁴  = 1.13 x 10⁵N

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

As T_1 is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.
