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

Karolina [17]

The length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

<h3>Extension of the spring 2</h3>

The extension of the spring 2 is determined from the net force acting on spring 2.

F(net) = Kx

<em>Net force on spring 2 = sum of forces acting downwards - sum of forces acting upwards.</em>

Net force on spring 2 = (force on 2 + force on 3) - (force on 1)

F(net) = (m₂ + m₃)g - (m₁)g

F(net) = (6.67 + 6.67)9.8 - (6.67)9.8

F(net) = 130.732 - 65.366

F(net) = 65.366 N

x = F/k

x = (65.366)/(8130)

x = 0.00804 m

The length of spring 2 = x + 0.23 m

= 0.00804 m + 0.23 m = 0.238 m

Thus, the length of the spring 2 due to arrangement of the equal masses is determined as 0.238 m.

What is the coldest place on earth

exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame

sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²
