What is the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?

Physics

Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

The charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred is zero.An atom as a whole is electrically neutral.

An atoms contains same number of electrons and protons. The charge of an electron and a proton is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. The charge of a proton is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C .Thus the charge of all the protons in an atoms is neutralized by the total charge of all the electrons.Thus an atom is electrically neutral.

when an atom loses electrons , it acquires a positive charge and when it gains electrons, it acquires a net charge.

A 1.8 kg uniform rod with a length of 90 cm is attached at one end to a frictionless pivot. It is free to rotate about the pivot
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a. 32.67 rad/s²  b. 29.4 m/s²

Explanation:

a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod

Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.

So, Iα = WL

mL²α/3 = mgL

dividing through by mL, we have

Lα/3 = g

multiplying both sides by 3, we have

Lα = 3g

dividing both sides by L, we have

α = 3g/L

Substituting the values of the variables, we have

α = 3g/L

= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m

= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²

= 32.67 rad/s²

b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?

The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²
