Answer:

Correct answer is B. Three electrons are gained, creating Al ^ -3

Explanation:

Aluminum in its valence shell has 3 electrons, this shell can have a maximun of 6 electrons. Then, to fill its valence shell, 3 electrons must be gained, and then the valence shell would have 6 electrons and would be complete.

If 3 electrons are gained, then Aluminum, would have a charge of -3, since each electron gained gives negative charge to the atom.

Al^ -3 is a ion of aluminum with charge -3.

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart

mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

as we know that

$m_1 = 5 kg$

$m_2 = 2 kg$

$v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0 m/s$

now from above equation we have

$5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v$

$14 = (5+ 2) v$

$v = 2 m/s$

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

A Block slides down an incline that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction bet

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.35 m/ $s^{2}$

Speed = 8.67 m/s

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction , u =0.3

The angle of incline = 30°

The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.

weight along the incline = mg cos60° = $\frac{mg}{2}$ = 0.5 mg

Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg $0.3\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Friction along incline = 0.26 mg

Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg

Acceleration = $\frac{net force}{mass}$ = 0.24 g = 2.35 m/ $s^{2}$

The height of incline = 8 m

Length of the inclined edge = 16 m

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}= 2\times 0.24 \times 9.8\times 16$

v= 8.67 m/s

10. Explain the principle of electric motor. Write its uses.

konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The principle of an electric motor is based on the current carrying conductor which produces magnetic field around it. A current carrying conductor is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field so that it experiences a force.

The largest electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors are found in industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools and disk drives.
