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.

Two plane mirrors are separated by 120°, as the drawing illustrates. If a ray strikes mirror M1 at a θ1 = 64° angle of incidence
tino4ka555 [31]

Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

  = 90° - 64°

  = 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

Would a limestone building weather more rapidly in Homer, Alaska, or in Honolulu, Hawaii? Explain your reasoning.
Vinvika [58]
Hawaii for sure. 

Well, Hawaii is hot (most of the time I think) and Alaska is always freezing (or at least cold). So hawaii.

What advantage does a modern camera offer a pinhole camera
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Done

Explanation:

The differences are significant. The main disadvantages of a pinhole camera compared to a modern camera are:

Proper exposure requires a trial and error approach.

Requires manual control of shutter speed (difficult to control)

Poor image quality (due to diffraction effects).

Long exposures (lead to blurry images if the subject moves).

Fixed aperture or f-stop.

Advantages include:

Large depth of field.

Inexpensive

Robust and nearly 100% reliable.

If used properly can create artistic effects.

How long does it take for a dropped rock to fall from a height of 8 meters
seropon [69]

Answer:

1.28 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 8 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(8 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.28 s
