How does an atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a +1 charge? 19 K 39.10

Answer:

B. The atom loses 1 electron, to make a total of 18.

Explanation:

Since proton lies inside the nucleus of the atom so it is bounded strongly by the nuclear forces

So it is very difficult to charge an atom by transfer of protons as it need to work against nuclear forces

But electrons orbit around the nucleus in different energy state so all those electrons which are lying at the outermost orbit is loosely bound and hence it is easy to remove that electron.

Since potassium ion has atomic number 19

so for a neutral ion it has 19 electrons and 19 protons in it

now in order to make it a charge of +1

so we can remove one electron from it so that it has 19 protons and 18 electrons it so due to which it will have +1 charge on it

so correct answer will be

B. The atom loses 1 electron, to make a total of 18.

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.

A woman takes her dog rover for a walk on a leash. She pulls on the leash with a force of 30.0 N at an angle of 29° above the ho
IrinaK [193]

19.8 N force is tending to lift Rover vertically off the ground.

<h3>What is horizontal and vertical component?</h3>

The horizontal velocity component (v_{x}) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile horizontally. The vertical velocity component (v_{y}) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile vertically.

According to the question,

The women pulls the dog with a force of 30 N at an angle of  29° from the horizontal.

Horizontal component=  30cos(29°) = 22.2 N

Vertical component = 30sin(29°) = 19.8 N

Therefore,

The horizontal component would tend to make the dog move forward and the vertical component would tend lift it off the ground.

Hence,

19.8 N force is tending to lift Rover vertically off the ground.

Two people stand facing each other at roller skating rink then push off each other
9966 [12]

a) 0 kg m/s

b) 0 kg m/s

c) +3 m/s

d) 60 N

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, we have a system of two people, so the total momentum will be the sum of the individual momenta of the two people:

p=p_1 + p_2

Which can be rewritten as

p=m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2

where m_1,m_2 are the masses of the two people and u_1,u_2 their initial velocities.

However, the two people are initially at rest, so

u_1 = 0\\u_2 = 0

Therefore the total momentum is

p=0+0=0

b)

The principle of conservation of momentum states that when there are no external forces acting on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved, so we can write:

p_i = p_f

where

p_i is the total momentum of the system before

p_f is the total momentum of the system after

In this problem,

p_i = 0

As we calculated in part a: this is because the total momentum of the two people before they push off each other is zero.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

p_f = p_i = 0

So the total momentum is zero also after they push off each other.

c)

The total momentum of the girl and the boy after they push off each other can be written as:

p_f = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 (1)

where:

m_1 = 30 kg is the mass of the girl

v_1 = -5 m/s is her velocity (she moves backward, so the negative sign)

m_2 = 50 kg is the mass of the boy

v_2 is the velocity of the boy

As calculated in part b), we also know that the total momentum of the girl and the boy is

p_f = 0 (2)

By combining eq(1) and eq(2) we get

0=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

And solving for v2 we find the velocity of the boy:

v_2=-\frac{m_1 v_1}{m_2}=-\frac{(30)(-5)}{50}=+3 m/s

and the positive sign means he is moving forward.

d)

We can solve this part by applying the impulse theorem, which states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the product between the force applied on it and the duration of the collision:

\Delta p = F\Delta t

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum

F is the force

\Delta t is the time during which the force is applied

In this problem:

\Delta t = 2.5 s

For the boy, the change in momentum is:

\Delta p = m_2 (v_2 - u_2)

And since

m_2 = 50 kg\\u_2 = 0 m/s\\v_2 = 3 m/s

We have

\Delta p = (50)(3-0)=150 kg m/s

So, the force exerted between the boy and the girl is:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{150}{2.5}=60 N

What is the difference between an object’s speed and its acceleration? NO LINKS
Arisa [49]

Answer: Hello! An objects speed is constant and has the units meters per second (m/s); thus, it does not change overtime. Acceleration is a rate of change where the speed does either increase or decrease overtime from its inital value; its units are meters per second second (m/s/s). I hope that helps!

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

T - mg cos40 = F_c

T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}

T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}

T = 3 + 5.55

T = 8.55 N
