How does an atom of chlorine-37 become a chloride ion with a -1 charge?

Physics

Answer:

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons.

Explanation:

Chlorine is the 17th element in the periodic table, so it has atomic number 17:

Z = 17

This means that a neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

When a chlorine atom gains 1 electron, its electric charge (initially zero) becomes -1, since the electron has negative charge of -1 (in elemntary charge units). This also means that the number of electrons in the ion is now

17 + 1 = 18

So the correct answer is

B. The atom gains 1 electron, to make a total of 18 electrons

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave

On the surface of the earth the weight of an object is 200 lb. Determine the height of the

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of object = 200 lb

We need to calculate the value of $Gmm_{e}$

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$200=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{(3958.756)^2}$

$200\times(3958.756)^2=Gmm_{e}$

$Gmm_{e}=3.134\times10^{9}$

We need to calculate the height of the object

Using formula of gravitational force

$F=\dfrac{Gmm_{e}}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$125=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{r^2}$

$r^2=\dfrac{200\times(3958.756)^2}{125}$

$r^2=25074798.5$

$r=\sqrt{25074798.5}$

$r=5007.4\ miles$

Hence. The height of the object is 5007.4 miles.

A pendulum clock gives correct time at 20°c how many sec/day will it gain or loose when the temperature fall to 5°c? cofficient

rewona [7]

Answer:

129.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.0002°c-1

θ1 = 20°C

θ2 = 5°C

Time t = one day ; Converting to seconds ; number of seconds in a day ; (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400 seconds

Let dT= change in time

Using the relation :

dT = 0.5* α * dθ * t

dθ = (20 - 5) = 15°C

dT = 0.5 * 0.0002 * 15 * 86400

dT = 129.6 seconds

What scale can I use for two force 0.8 Newtons and 0.9 Newtons? Someone please help

kirill [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

To plot the given forces of 0.8 N and 0.9 N. It is convenient to take

0.1 N as 1 unit in Graph

For example, 1 unit in the graph is 1 cm

then take 0.1 N equivalent to 1 cm

$0.8 N\equiv 8\ \text{units in graph}\\\\0.9\equiv 9\ \text{units in graph}$
