How does losing an electron result in a positive charge?

Physics
1 answer:
AlekseyPX3 years ago
3 0
A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge. Usually, the amount of electrons and protons is the same, but when an electron is lost usually because of radiation or a chemical reaction the resulting amount of electrons/ protons results in a different charge for the atom in general.
When there are more electrons the result it a negative ion, and when there are more protons it is a positive ion. 
So, to answer your question: if an electron is lost from a neutral atom and there are more protons than electrons you get a positive charge. Have a good day!

A girl drops a pebble from a high cliff into a lake far below. She sees the splash of the pebble hitting the water 2.00s later.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

19.62 ms

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 s

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (downward direction is taken as positive)

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2\\\Rightarrow v=19.62\ m/s

The speed of the pebble when it hit the water is 19.62 ms

Electrical resistance is a measure of resistance to the flow of _?____
zubka84 [21]

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Hope this helps!!!!

Relate balanced and unbalanced forces to net forces
alina1380 [7]

Answer:If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero.

Explanation:

If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.
