Answer:

(1) A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible part of an element which retains all the chemical properties of that element.

Atoms are usually made up of a nucleus which consists of  positively charged proton(s) and neutral neutron(s) and surrounded by an equal amount of negatively charged electrons located at a distance, r called its atomic radius.

The number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons, thus making the atom electrically neutral.

So, the distribution of charge in an atom is thus one in which a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons.

Answer: option B

Explanation: when a neutral atom loses an electron or gains a positive charge electron, it becomes a positive ion (positively charged) and when an neutral atom gains an electronic charge or losses a positive charge electron, it becomes a negative ion (negatively charged).

Which of the following represents a possible magnitude for the force of static friction when Xavier applied 72.1 Newtons of forc
lana66690 [7]

The possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Applied force on the cart, F = 72.1 N</em>

<em />

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

Static frictional force is the force resisting the motion of an object at rest.

\Sigma F = 0\\\\F -F_f = 0

where;

F_f is the frictional force

F= F_f \\\\72.1 = F_f\\\\F_f = 72.1\  N

Thus, the possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The force of Earth's gravity on a capsule in space will lessen as it moves farther away. If the capsule moves to twice its dista
Bess [88]

Answer: One quarter of the force

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}    (1)

Where Gis the gravitational constant

This means that the gravity force decreases when the distance between these two bodies increases.

In this context, if the distance between the capsule and the Earth increases twice, the new distance will be 2r.

Substituting this distance in (1):

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{(2r)^2}    (2)

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{4r^2}    

<u>Finally:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4}G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2} >>>This means the force toward Earth becomes one quarter "weaker"
