The electrical charge on an atom as a whole is A) negative. B) neutral. C) positive. D) dependent upon the atomic number. 25)

Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus "anionic."

a stone with a mass of 2.40 kg is moving with velocity (6.60î − 2.40ĵ) m/s. find the net work (in j) on the stone if its velocit

ch4aika [34]

By the work energy theorem, the total work done on the stone is given by its change in kinetic energy,

$W = \Delta K = \dfrac m2 ({v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2)$

We have

$\vec v_1 = (6.60\,\vec\imath - 2.40\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_1}^2 = \|\vec v_1\|^2 = 49.32 \dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}$

$\vec v_2 = (8.00\,\vec\imath + 4.00\,\vec\jmath) \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_2}^2 = \|\vec v_2\|^2 = 80.0\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the total work is

$W = \dfrac{2.40\,\rm kg}2 \left(80.0\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2} - 49.32\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}\right) \approx \boxed{36.8\,\rm J}$
