If an atom has 15 protons, 12 neutrons, and 17 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge? A. -5 B. -2 C. +3 D. +5
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

B. -2

Explanation:

The total charge on an atom is the sum of all individual charges present in it. Therefore, the total charge on this atom is given by the following formula:

q = (n_p)(q_p)+(n_e)(q_e)+(n_n)(q_n)

where,

q = total charge on atom = ?

n_p = no. of protons in the atom = 15

n_e = no. of electrons in the atom = 17

n_n = no. of neutrons in the atom = 12

q_p = charge on proton = +1

q_e = charge on electron = -1

q_n = charge on neutron = 0

Therefore,

q = (15)(1)+(17)(-1)+(12)(0)\\q=-2

Hence the correct option is:

<u>B. -2</u>

A piston raises a weight, then lowers it again to its original height. If the process the system follows as the piston rises is
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamic also known as the  law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

The first law relates  relates changes in internal energy to heat added to a system and the work done by a system by the conservation of energy.

The first law is mathematically given as ΔU  = U_{F} - U_{0} = Q - W

Where Q  = Quantity of heat

            W = Work done

From the first law The internal energy has the symbol U. Q is positive if heat is added to the system, and negative if heat is removed; W is positive if work is done by the system, and negative if work is done on the system.

Analyzing the pistol when it raises in isothermal and when it falls in  isobaric state.The following can be said:

In the Isothermal compression of a gas there is work done on the system to decrease the volume and increase the pressure. For work to be done on the system it is a negative work done then.

In the Isobaric State An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure. Since the pressure is constant, the force exerted is constant and the work done is given as PΔV.If a gas is to expand at a constant pressure, heat should be transferred into the system at a certain rate.Isobaric is a fuction of heat which is Isothermal Provided the pressure is kept constant.

In Isobaric definition above it can be seen that " Heat should be transferred into the system ata certain rate. For heat to be transferred into the system work is deinitely been done on the system thereby favouring the negative work done.

suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 j when you dropped it. What would be its kinetic energy just as it hit the ground. (i
Andru [333]
Since we are ignoring air resistance which is a non-conservative force, the potential energy will be completely converted into kinetic energy, resulting in a final kinetic energy of 5J.
