Answer:

A positive charge means lack of electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms that are present in all bodies, are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons. All three have mass, but only the electron and the proton have charge. The electron has a negative charge, and the proton has a positive charge.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons coincides with the amount of electrons. But it may happen that these amounts are different.

When there are excess electrons, as these have a negative charge, the charge of the element will be negative. Then an anion is formed.

However, when there is a lack of electrons, the element's charge will be positive. Then a cation is formed.

So, <u><em>a positive charge means lack of electrons.</em></u>

I believe it’s (b) since negative charge means having two or more extra electrons

Explain, briefly, what the electrical field inside a microwave oven does to heat food.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up.May 3, 2018

Which statement correctly explains how the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram helps to compare stars?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars according to their luminosity and temperature, which is also associated with spectral class.

Explanation:

The Hertzsprung-Russell is a diagram representing:

- The surface temperature of the stars on the x-axis

- The absolute luminosity of the stars on the y-axis

So, the H-R diagram shows the relationship between the luminosity (power output) of a star and its temperature.

Most of the stars in the diagram are located along a diagonal line going from the top left to the bottom right: the stars in this diagonal are the stars in the main sequence, which is the main phase of life of a star.

Also, the graph shows that for stars in the main sequence, as the temperature increases, the luminosity also increases: these are the blue supergiant stars located in the top left corner.

Then, apart from the main sequence line, there are other groups of stars located in the top right corner (red giants) and in the bottom left corner (red, white dwarfs).

So, the correct answer is

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars according to their luminosity and temperature, which is also associated with spectral class.

Janet jumps horizontally off a high diving platform with a velocity of 2.63 m/s and lands in the water 1.9 s later. How high is

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The height of the platform is 22.686 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of Janet, u = 2.63 m/s

time of her motion, t = 1.9 s

The height of the platform is given by;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

substitute the given values and solve for height "h"

h = (2.63 x 1.9) + ¹/₂(9.8)(1.9)²

h = 4.997 + 17.689

h = 22.686 m

Therefore, the height of the platform is 22.686 m.

An object is dropped from rest from a height of 4.4 107 m above the surface of the Earth. If there is no air resistance, what is

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object is drop from a height, then it is in direction of gravity

g is +ve

When an object drop from a height, the initial velocity is 0,

U=0

Given that h=4.4×10^7m

V=?

g=9.81m/s^2

Then using equation of motion

V^2=U^2+2gh

V^2=0+2×9.81×4.4×10^7

V^2=86.33×10^7m/s

Take square root of both side

V=29381.63m/s

Now to km/s, divide by 1000

Since 1km=1000m

V=29.38km/s
