1 answer:

8 0

<span>An isotope is a form of a chemical element whose atomic nucleus contains a specific number of neutrons in addition to the number of protons that distinctively defines the element. The nuclei of most atoms have neutrons as well as protons.</span>

An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?

jeka57 [31]

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.7 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.048 m, using a string of length 0

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Tension in the string is equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 1.7 kg

radius of the circle r = 0.48 m $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

Kinetic energy is given 14 J

Kinetic energy is equal to $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So $\frac{1}{2}\times 1.7\times v^2=14$

$v^2=16.47$

v = 4.05 m/sec

Centripetal force is equal to $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

So tension in the string will be equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 8.7 nC. Using insulatin

JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

(a) Since, it is given that the blocks are identical so distribution of charge will be uniform on both the blocks.

Hence, final charge on block A will be calculated as follows.

Charge on block A = $\frac{(8.7 + 0 nC}{2}$

= 4.35 nC

Therefore, final charge on the block A is 4.35 nC.

(b) As it is given that the positive charge is coming on block A . This means that movement of electrons will be from A to B.

Thus, we can conclude that while the blocks were in contact with each other then electrons will flow from A to B.
