Answer:

On a tiny scale, what happens to an initially neutral object’s mass when it gains a net positive charge through the exchange of electrons? (<em>the mass will decrease by a very small factor</em>)

(b) What happens to the mass of an initially neutral object when it gains a net negative charge through the exchange of electrons?  (<em>The mass will increase by a very small factor</em>)

Explanation:

(a) On a tiny scale, what happens to an initially neutral object’s mass when it gains a net positive charge through the exchange of electrons? (<em>the mass will decrease by a very small factor</em>)

The mass of an atom is given by the sum of the masses of the protons, neutrons and electrons. Electrons has lower mass than protons and neutrons, so they have a minor contribution to the total mass of the atom.    

When an object is electrically neutral it means that it has the same number of protons and electrons. For the case of an object positively charged, the rate of protons is greater than the number of electrons. That means that atom lose electrons so the mass will decrease in a very small factor.

(b) What happens to the mass of an initially neutral object when it gains a net negative charge through the exchange of electrons?  (<em>The mass will increase by a very small factor</em>)

For the case when the object is negatively charged, it means that the atom gains electrons from another object, leading to the conclusion that the mass of the atom will increase in a very small factor.  

Key values:

Electron mass: 9.1095×10⁻³¹ Kg

Proton mass: 1.67261×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Neutron mass: 1.67492×10⁻²⁷ Kg

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Georgia [21]
If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ?  You have to change the properties
of the medium.

If you walk at an average speed of 5 km/h for 30 minutes, how
Inessa05 [86]

The distance that would be accumulated during the journey is 2.5 meters

The parameters given in the question are  written below;

average speed= 5 km/hr

time = 30 minutes

convert 30 minutes to hours

= 30/60

= 0.5 hours

Distance-= speed × time

= 5 × 0.5

= 2.5 meters

Hence the distance of the entire journey is 2.5 meters

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
masha68 [24]
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"

Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
F=mg=(6.89 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=67.6 N
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
\Delta x=43.2 cm-33.6 cm=9.6 cm=0.096 m
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}= \frac{67.6 N}{0.096 m}=704.2 N/m
