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.

when the temperature of the air is 25 degrees Celsius the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
scZoUnD [109]

Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only.   Air is almost an ideal gas.

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.

A coin dropped in the lift it takes time 0.5 s to reach the floor when lift is staionary it takes time t when lift is moving up
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

t₁ > t₂

Explanation:

A coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time t₁ to reach the floor when lift is stationary. It takes time t₂ when lift is moving up with constant acceleration. Then t₁ > t₂,  t₁ = t₂,  t₁ >> t₂ ,  t₂ > t₁

Solution:

Newton's law of motion is given by:

s = ut + (1/2)gt²;

where s is the the distance covered, u is initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time taken.

u = 0 m/s, t₁ is the time to reach ground when the light is stationary and t₂ is the time to reach ground when the lift is moving with a constant acceleration a.

hence:

When stationary:

s=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2\\\\t_1^2=\frac{2s}{g}  \\\\When\ moving\ with\ acceleration(a):\\\\s=\frac{1}{2}(g+a)t_2^2\\\\t_2^2=\frac{2s}{g+a}

Hence t₂ < t₁, this means that t₁ > t₂.

What is friction and weight and what is hooks law
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Hooke's law states that the applied force F equals a constant k times the displacement or change in length x, or F = kx. ... Hooke's law describes the elastic properties of materials only in the range in which the force and displacement are proportional.
