What kind of charge does an object have if it has gained electrons

Physics

It depends on whether the object was charged before the electrons came along.

-- Electrons carry negative charge.

-- If the object was originally neutral, then the extra electrons brought extra negative charge with them, and the object became negatively charged.

-- If the object was positively charged to begin with, then it could be
charged either way after it has gained electrons.

... If there aren't enough electrons to completely cancel out the original
positive charge, then the object will still be positively charged (although
not as much) after it has gained the electrons.

... If there MORE electrons than it takes to completely cancel out the
original positive charge, then the object will be negatively charged after
it has gained the electrons.

... If there are EXACTLY the right number of electrons to completely
cancel out the original positive charge, then the object will be neutral
(no charge) after it has gained the electrons.

Electrons make a negative charge because electrons are negative. But when atoms lose electrons they make a positive charge.

Hope this helped! :)

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c)  The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J

An object of mass 300 g, moving with an initial velocity of 5.00i-3.20j m/s, collides with an sticks to an object of mass 400 g,
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Velocity is 2.17 m/s at an angle of 9.03° above X-axis.

Explanation:

Mass of object 1 , m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 kg

Mass of object 2 , m₂ = 400 g = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of object 1 , v₁ = 5.00i-3.20j m/s

Initial velocity of object 2 , v₂ = 3.00j m/s

Mass of composite = 0.7 kg

We need to find final velocity of composite.

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Initial momentum = 0.3 x (5.00i-3.20j) + 0.4 x 3.00j = 1.5 i + 0.24 j kgm/s

Final momentum = 0.7 x v = 0.7v kgm/s

Comparing

1.5 i + 0.24 j = 0.7v

v = 2.14 i + 0.34 j

Magnitude of velocity      

       v=\sqrt{2.14^2+0.34^2}=2.17m/s

Direction,  

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{0.34}{2.14}\right )=9.03^0

Velocity is 2.17 m/s at an angle of 9.03° above X-axis.
