3, protons are positive and there are 3 positive atoms visible
Answer:
(a) The force between them quadruples
Explanation:
According to coulomb's law, initial force between the two charged objects is given as;

where;
k is coulomb's constant
q₁ is the charge on the first object
q₂ is the charge on the second object
r is the distance between the two objects
When the charges on both objects are doubled, then;
q₁ = 2q₁
q₂ = 2q₂
Force between the two charged objects will become

Therefore, the force between them quadruples
Answer:

Explanation:
In all atoms, the number of protons = number of electrons, as a result the atom is neutral. Losing or gaining electrons will make the atom electrically charged and we call an electrically charged atom an ion.
Ca 2+ would be the symbol because losing two negative electrons makes calcium's nucleus more positive by two protons.
A=Fh
A - work
F - force
h - distance
F=mg
m - mass (god+basket)
so
A=mgh
187 = m*10*4
187=40m
m=187/40
m=4.675 kg
or 4kg and 675g
