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

Physics

fomenos3 years ago
6 0
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 fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .

A point charge q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2 is placed at point a, and the electric potential energy o
likoan [24]

Answer:

U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J

Explanation:

Given data

Electric potential at point a is Ua=5.4×10⁻⁸J

q₂ moves to point b where a negative work done on it  W_{a-b}=-1.9*10^{-8}J

Required

Electric potential energy Ub

Solution

When a particle moves from a point where the potential is Ua to a point where it is Ub the change in potential energy is equal to work done where the force exerted on the charge is conservative and work done is given by:

W_{a-b}=U_{a}-U_{b}\\U_{b}=U_{a}-W_{a-b}

Now  substitute the given values

So

U_{b}=5.4*10^{-8}J-(-1.9*10^{-8}J)\\U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

4 cm .

=
