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

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

734.215N

Explanation:

First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function

\beta = tan-1(5%)=2.86

then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)

Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N

In this experiment you will investigate which of the following properties of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction? (Select
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

Part A

According to Faraday's law the induced emf in coil is equal to negative of its rate of change of magnetic flux time the number of turns in the coil.

\epsilon = -N\frac{d\phi}{dt}= -N\Delta\frac{BA}{\Delta t}

When an emf generated by a change of magnetic flux, produced current of whose magnetic field opposes the change  which produces it.

By the above equation the correct options are 1,2 and 4

Part B

Large signals of  frequency of 60Hz are measured by osciloscope.

Hence the correct option is part 1.

____ is undeniably accepted by scientists all over the world as the primary language of science.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Latin

Explanation:

In order for the scientists to have a common and official name for a particular thing that can be understood by every scientist in the world, a single language has been established for the purpose. The language chosen is the Latin language. The official scientific names are given in this language, so it is a necessity for the scientists to know and understand this language. The terms that are commonly used are regional, and they come in many different languages, which is why this language has been chosen. Occasionally, the ancient Greek language is used as well, though much less than the Latin.

Determine the gain in the potential energy when a 8.0 kg box is raised 17.2 m.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

<h3>1376 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
