What can be inferred when an atom is electrically charged?
Elena-2011 [213]

When an atom becomes electrically charged the number of electrons or protons stops and they are not equal again. The "extra" electron or proton is not balanced by something inside the atom any longer and it starts attracting itself to othet protons or electrons in other atoms.

<h3>What is atomic structure?</h3>

An atomic structure comprises of positively charged nucleus which is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electron and neutron which is neutral charged.

Unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel each other.

Therefore, When an electron is fully charged, the number of electrons will stop to be unequal again.

katen-ka-za [31]

The initial potential energy of the wagon containing gold boxes will enable

it roll down the hill when cut loose.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u>.

Reasons:

Mass wagon and gold = 166 kg

Location of the wagon = 77 meters up the hill

Slope of the hill = 8°

Location of the rangers = 41 meters from the canyon

Mass of Lone Ranger, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of Tonto m₂ = 66 kg

Solution;

Height of the wagon above the level ground, h = 77 m × sin(8°) ≈ 10.72 m

Potential energy = m·g·h

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 166 × 9.81 × 10.72 = 17457.0912

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 17457.0912 J

By energy conservation, P.E. = K.E.

K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}

Where;

v = The velocity of the wagon a the bottom of the cliff

Therefore;

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166 \times v^2 = 17457.0912

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{17457.0912}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166} } \approx 14.5

Velocity of the wagon, v ≈ 14.5 m/s

Momentum = Mass, m × Velocity, v

Initial momentum of wagon = m·v

Final momentum of wagon and ranger = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

By conservation of momentum, we have;

m·v = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

\therefore v' = \mathbf{ \dfrac{m \cdot v}{(m + m_1 + m_2)  }}

Which gives;

\therefore v' = \dfrac{166 \times 14.5}{(166 + 65 + 66)  } \approx 8.1

The velocity of the wagon after the Ranger and Tonto drop in, v' ≈ 8.1 m/s

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Velocity}

\mathrm{The \ time \ the\ Lone \  Ranger \  and  \ Tonto \  have,  \ t} = \dfrac{41 \, m}{8.1 \, m/s} \approx 5.1 \, s

The Lone Range and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u> to grab the

gold and jump out of the wagon before the wagon heads over the cliff.

Why do the planets appear in different locations in the night sky while the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same?
Goshia [24]
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly.  At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed.  The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.

The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that. 

That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.

To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion.  The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things. 
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.

This all makes me feel small.  How about you ?
