An oxygen atom picks up two additional, free-floating electrons. Is the charge of the newly formed oxygen ion positive, negative

, or neutral?

Answer: Negative

Explanation:

An oxygen atom has the chemical symbol O. Its atomic number is 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p4.

Now, due to the incompletely filled p-orbital, oxygen picks up two additional, free-floating electrons (2e-) to complete its outermost shell. And since each electrons received carries a negative charge, oxygen atom becomes a negatively charged divalent ion, O2-

See the equation below

O + 2e- ---> O2-

A cell phone weighing 80 grams is flying through the air at 15 m/s. What is its kinetic energy
Contact [7]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the cell phone is 9J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of motion.

The kinetic energy is expressed as

KE= 1/2m(v)²

Given data

Mass of cell phone m= 80g--to kg=80/1000= 0.08kg

Velocity of cell phone v= 15m/s

Substituting our given data we have

KE= 1/2*0.08(15)²

KE= (0.08*225)/2

KE=18/2

KE= 9J

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i
scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.
