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

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

15.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

She catches the ball 3.2 s later at the same height from which it was thrown.

When it reaches the maximum height, its height is equal to 0.

It will move under the action of gravity.

$t=\dfrac{2u}{g}$

2 here comes for the time of ascent and descent.

So,

$u=\dfrac{tg}{2}\\\\u=\dfrac{3.2\times 9.8}{2}\\\\u=15.68\ m/s$

So, the initial upward speed of the ball is 15.68 m/s.

If a power utility were able to replace an existing 500 kV transmission line with one operating at 1 MV, it would change the amo

mestny [16]

Answer:

It would change the amount of heat produced in the transmission line to four times the previous value.

Explanation:

Given;

initial voltage in the transmission line, V₁ = 500 kV = 500,000 V

Final voltage in the transmission line, V₂ = 1 MV = 1,000,000

The power lost in the transmission line due to heat is given by;

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

Power lost in the first wire;

$P_1 = \frac{V_1^2}{R}$

$R = \frac{V_1^2}{P_1}$

Power lost in the second wire

$P_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{R}\\\\ R = \frac{V_2^2}{P_2}$

Keeping the resistance constant, we will have the following equation;

$\frac{V_2^2}{P_2} = \frac{V_1^2}{P_1} \\\\P_2 = \frac{V_2^2P_1}{V_1^2}\\\\$

$P_2 = \frac{(1,000,000)^2P_1}{(500,000)^2}\\\\P_2 =4P_1$

Therefore, it would change the amount of heat produced in the transmission line to four times the previous value.

In the woman's mouth if

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

hi mate,

interesting question, first of all the pressure is determined by using the following formula:

Pg = p * G * h

where p is the density of the liquid, G is the gravity and h is the height difference, in you case you have:

p = 1015 kg/m3

G = 9.8m/s2

h = 0.085 m

insert these values into the equation above:

Pg = 1015 kg/m3 * 9.8m/s2 * 0.085 m = 849.81 kg·m-1·s-2 or 849.81 pascal

hope it helps, :-)

please mark me as brainliest
