What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?
Alex_Xolod [135]
If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.

A semicircular plate with radius 6 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 m above the surface. Express the hydr
dalvyx [7]

Answer: 313920

Explanation:First, we’re going to assume that the top of the circular plate surface is 2 meters under the water. Next, we will set up the axis system so that the origin of the axis system is at the center of the plate.

Finally, we will again split up the plate into n horizontal strips each of width Δy and we’ll choose a point y∗ from each strip. Attached to this is a sketch of the set up.

The water’s surface is shown at the top of the sketch. Below the water’s surface is the circular plate and a standard xy-axis system is superimposed on the circle with the center of the circle at the origin of the axis system. It is shown that the distance from the water’s surface and the top of the plate is 6 meters and the distance from the water’s surface to the x-axis (and hence the center of the plate) is 8 meters.

The depth below the water surface of each strip is,

di = 8 − yi

and that in turn gives us the pressure on the strip,

Pi =ρgdi = 9810 (8−yi)

The area of each strip is,

Ai = 2√4− (yi) 2Δy

The hydrostatic force on each strip is,

Fi = Pi Ai=9810 (8−yi) (2) √4−(yi)² Δy

The total force on the plate is found on the attached image.

An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re
ExtremeBDS [4]
This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.
