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 angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775°

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>

Answer:

Acceleration of the second particle at that moment is given as

$a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that both cars are connected by same spring

So on this system of two cars there is no external force

So we will have

$F = 0 = m_1a_1 + m_2a_2$

now we have

$m_1 = 0.200 kg$

$m_2 = 0.250 kg$

$a_1 = 2.65 m/s^2$

now we have

$0.200(2.65) + 0.250a_2 = 0$

so we have

$a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2$
