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

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 certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.2 × 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulse
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the laser light, f=4.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Time, t=3.2\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let \lambda is the wavelength of this light. It can be calculated as :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.2\times 10^{14}}

\lambda=7.14\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=714\ nm

(b) Let n is the number of the wavelengths in one pulse. It can be calculated as :

n=f\times t

n=4.2\times 10^{14}\times 3.2\times 10^{-11}

n = 13440

Hence, this is the required solution.

When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the plastic rod becomes negatively charged and the fur becomes positively charged. As a con
Yuri [45]

Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
