Triss [41]4 years ago

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

An arrow of 43 g moving at 84 m/s to the right, strikes an apple at rest. The arrow sticks to the apple and both travel at 16.8
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of both momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

We are given the mass of an arrow m1=43 g = 0.043 kg traveling at v1=84 m/s to the right (positive direction). It strikes an apple of unknown mass m2 originally at rest (v2=0). The common speed after they collide is v'=16.8 m/s.

We need to solve the last equation for m2:

m_2v_2-m_2v'=m_1v'-m_1v_1

Factoring m2 and m1:

m_2(v_2-v')=m_1(v'-v_1)

Solving:

\displaystyle m_2=\frac{m_1(v'-v_1)}{v_2-v'}

Substituting:

\displaystyle m_2=\frac{0.043(16.8-84)}{0-16.8}

\displaystyle m_2=\frac{-2.8896}{-16.8}

\displaystyle m_2=0.172\ kg

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)

Sergio039 [100]

OK.

But first we need to know . . .

-- Where is Riverdale ?

-- What is the air temperature there right now ?

-- What kind of system is being used now ?

-- Where can we get a complete description of the groundwater system ?

Give three advantages and three disadvantages of nuclear power. Support each with evidence. This response should be a complete a
Talja [164]
The paragraph is going to be your responsibility but I can provide the pros and cons.

Advantages include the fact that Uranium is a plentiful resource, it is relatively clean, and it takes very little resources to make power.

However disadvantages include radioactive byproducts which need longtime storage. Uranium is also a nonrenewable resource, meaning it can run out. Additionally safety issues regarding melt downs are a major concern.

Compare and contrast the temperatures of the inner planets?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The inner planets either do not have moons or have just one (Earth) or two (Mars). None of the inner planets have rings. Compared to the outer planets, the inner planets have shorter orbits around the Sun, but all the inner planets spin more slowly. ... From left to right, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
