Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions.

Explanation:

  1. When an atom releases an electron to form the nearest rare gas configuration, it forms a positive ion.
  2. Similarly, an atom receives an electron to form the nearest electronic configuration, it forms negative ions.
  3. The positive ions have an affinity towards the negative electrode and moves towards it. So it is called cations.
  4. The negative charge ions have an affinity towards the positive electrode and moves towards it. So, it is called anions.
  5. Hence, the positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions.

taurus [48]

Answer:

31,360J

Explanation:

Gravitation potential energy (gpe) is calculated from the formula mgh.

That implies, gpe = mgh

Therefore substituting the values of m and h as given in the question, knowing in mine that the acceleration due to gravity( g) is 9.8 N/kg, will give 31,360J

Never forget to put your SI units, because even if your answer is numerical correct, it will be incorrect because it represents no physical quantity.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

F'=2F

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case, we have q_1'=2q_1:

F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F
