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

Physics

almond37 [142]3 years ago

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! :)

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels d
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T= 5.18N

Explanation:

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.49/ 7.3

u = 0.067 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 7.3 / 0.83 = 8.795m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (8.795)² x 0.067

T= 5.18N

Are rocks made of matter?​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Yes, the rocks are made of matter

Explanation:

Let's remember the definition of matter.

Matter is all that has mass and occupies a place in space. Therefore, if we measure the mass of each rock we will know its mass, the other fact is that rocks like any particular body are occupying a place in an empty space.

The opposite of this is antimatter and can its extent be given by the quantum mechanics.
