When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?

The correct answer is answer choice C. +1. Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.

A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

erastova [34]

Answer:

(a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of baseball = 144 g

Speed = 81 mph = 36.2 m/s

Distance = 81 cm

(a). We need top calculate the ball's centripetal acceleration just before it is released

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Where, v = speed

r  = radius

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{(36.2)^2}{81\times10^{-2}}

a=1617.82\ m/s^2

a=16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). We need to calculate the magnitude of the net force that is acting on the ball just before it is released

Using formula of force

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{144\times10^{-3}\times(36.2)^2}{81\times10^{-2}}

F=232.9\ N

Hence, (a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.
