<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>

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
Stels [109]

Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J

What type of planets does the asteroid belt orbit?​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.

Bobo, the clown, wants to set the world record for the furthest range traveled by a clown shot out of a cannon. Write a sentence
Furkat [3]

Solution:

The world record for the longest flight by a human cannonball is approximately 200 feet and therefore the human cannon catapult that Bobo would need is one that would be able to propel him with an initial velocity of more than 120 kilometer per hour (more than the speed of the current record holder) with the cannon directed at an angle 45 degrees above the horizonal

Two extremely large nonconducting horizontal sheets each carry uniform charge density on the surfaces facing each other. The upp
sashaice [31]

This problem refers to a parallel plate capacitor. There is an electric field between the two plates. The working equation to be used is the Gauss’s Law which is

Electric field = Surface charge density / ε0

The answer is -2.52 μC/m2.
