If a potassium atom loses one electron than it becomes a +1 charge, because the electrons are negative and the nucleus is positive (the positive comes from the protons). The protons and electrons balance out so it has a neutral charge, but if the atom loses an electrons it has a positive charge, but if the atom gains an electron than it becomes negative. the charge (+/- and the number) of the atom depends on how many electron the atom gains/loses. 
the answer is (D.) +1

A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1428.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied on the body  = 40N

Mass of the body  = 28g

                    1000g  = 1kg

                      28g will therefore be 0.028kg

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.

         Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

            40  = 0.028 x acceleration

           Acceleration  = \frac{40}{0.028}   = 1428.6m/s²
