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.

Your answer is C)

a)t=2.78 sec

b)R=835.03 m

c)

Explanation:

Given that

h= 38 m

u=300 m/s

here given that

The finally y=0

So

t=2.78 sec

The horizontal distance,R

R= u x t

R=300 x 2.78

R=835.03 m

Una pelota de tenis de 100 g de masa lleva una rapidez de 20 m/s. Al ser golpeada por una raqueta, se mueve en sentido contrario
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

El impulso aplicado a la pelota produce una variación en su momento lineal.

J = m (V -Vo)

Conviene elegir positivo el sentido de la velocidad final.

J = 0,100 kg [40 - (- 20)] m/s = 6 kg m/s

A major strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas fault in California will cause a catastrophic tsunami affecting residents of S
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

  • The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.
  • This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.

A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.
