Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{The \: electron \: has \: a \: negative \: charge \: and \: is \: found \: outside \: of \: the \: nucleus}}$

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Let's check the options:

A: The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ Yeah! It's TRUE . An electron is a negatively charged particle and is located outside the nucleus of an atom.

B : The neutron has a negative charge and is found in the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ No! It's FALSE . A neutron carries no charge. i.e it is a neutral particle and found inside the nucleus.

C : The proton has no charge and is found in the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ No! It's FALSE.A proton is a positively charged particle present inside nucleus of an atom.

D : The neutron has no charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ I agree that the neutron has no charge. But it is found inside the nucleus not outside . So, this statement is FALSE .

Hence, we found our answer! :D

A. The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus is the correct statement about an atom.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane. You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?

andrey2020 [161]

$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.$

A ball is dropped from rest at point O. After falling for some time, it passes by a window of height 3.3 m and it does so in 0.2

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

Explanation:

Height of window = 3.3 m

Time took to cover window = 0.27 s

Initial velocity, u = 0m/s

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²
