When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?

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

I hope this helps.

The gap between electrodes in a spark plug is 0.060 cm. Producing an electric spark in a gasoline-air mixture requires an electr

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

Explanation:

Given:

Electric field $E = 3 \times 10^{6} \frac{V}{m}$

Gap between electrodes $d = 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$ m

For finding the minimum potential difference,

$\Delta V = E \times d$

$\Delta V = 3 \times 10^{6} \times 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Delta V = 1800$ V

Therefore, the magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

A long jumper can jump a distance of 7.4 m when he takes off at an angle of 45° with respect to the horizontal. Assuming he can

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

0.02 m

Explanation:

R₁ = initial distance jumped by jumper = 7.4 m

R₂ = final distance jumped by jumper = ?

θ₁ = initial angle of jump = 45°

θ₂ = final angle of jump = 42.9°

$v$ = speed at which jumper jumps at all time

initial distance jumped is given as

$R_{1}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{1} }{g}$

final distance jumped is given as

$R_{2}=\frac{v^{2}Sin2\theta _{2} }{g}$

Dividing final distance by initial distance

$\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}=\frac{Sin2\theta _{1}}{Sin2\theta _{2}}$

$\frac{R_{2}}{7.4}=\frac{Sin2(42.9)}{Sin2(45))}$

$R_{2} =7.38$

distance lost is given as

d = $R_{1} - R_{2}$

d = 7.4 - 7.38

d = 0.02 m
