Answer:

A positive ion is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms.

A negative ion is formed by the addition of electron(s) to an atom or group of atoms.

Explanation:

A positive ion, also known as cation is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms until there are fewer electrons than protons. It positive ion because it contains more proton than electron.

A negative ion, also known as anion is formed when an atom or group of atoms gains electron(s) until there are more electrons than protons. It negative ion because it contains more electron than proton.

A marble slides without friction in a vertical loop around the inside of a smooth, 28.6 cm diameter horizontal pipe. The marble'

Leviafan [203]

Answer:3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of marble at Bottom $v=4.22 m/s$

Diameter of loop $d=28.6 cm$

As Energy is conserved therefore Energy at top is equal to energy at bottom

$E_T=E_B$

$\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$ ,where $v_0$ is the velocity at bottom

$\frac{v^2}{2}+gh=\frac{v_0^2}{2}$

$v_0^2=v^2+2gh$

$v^2=v_0^2-2gh$

$v=\sqrt{v_0^2-2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{4.22^2-2\times 9.8\times 0.286}$

$v=\sqrt{17.8084-5.6056}$

$v=3.49 m/s$

Two competing models attempt to explain the motions and changing brightness of the planets: Ptolemy's geocentric model and Coper

AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered. Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.

What is the mass of an object that is hanging 12.6 m above the surface of the earth and has a

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

22.05 Kg

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

GPE = Gravity . Mass . ΔHigh

2778.3 = 10 . Mass . 12.6

2778.3 = 126 . Mass

Mass = 2778.3/126

Mass = 22.05

The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom. Express it in nm and m.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1 angstrom = 0.1nm

5000 angstrom = 5000/1 × 0.1nm

$1 \: angstrom = 1 \times {10}^{ - 10} m$

5000 angstrom = 5000 × 1 × 10^-10
