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

Estimate the force required to bind the two protons in the He nucleus together. (Hint: Model the protons as point charges. Assum
scoray [572]

Answer:

 F = 2.30 10⁴ N

Explanation:

The force required to link two gates must be equal to or greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion, because the protons have equal charges.

                 F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C²

   In this case the proton charge is 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C and the distance between them is approximately the diameter of the core r = 10⁻¹⁵ m

Let's calculate

              F = 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² / (10⁻¹⁵)²

              F = 2.30 10⁴ N

The bond strength must be equal to or greater than this value

A woman carries a 10kg box up a set of 5m high stairs and then down a 12m long hallway. How much work does she do on the box?
nika2105 [10]

Answer: 1666J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of box (m) = 10kg

Total distance covered by box (h)

= (5m + 12m)

= 17m

work done on the box = ?

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance. Hence, the magnitude of work done on the box depends on its mass (m), distance covered (h), and acceleration due to gravity (g)

(g has a value of 9.8m/s²

i.e Work = mgh

Work = 10kg x 9.8m/s² x 17m

Work = 1666J

Thus, 1666 joules of work was done by the woman on the box.
