Physics

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.

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 9.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the player (u) = 9.50 m/s

Final velocity of the player (v) = 0 m/s (Comes to a stop)

Displacement of the player (S) = 0.250 m

We know that, using equation of motion relating displacement (S), acceleration (a), initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v), we have:

$v^2=u^2+2aS$

Expressing in terms of 'a', we get:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2S}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

$a=\frac{0-9.50^2}{2\times 0.250}\\\\a=\frac{-90.25}{0.5}=-180.5\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the player is -180.5 m/s². So, the deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Now, using the first equation of motion, we have:

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

$t=\frac{0-9.5}{-180.5}\\\\t=0.053\ s$

Therefore, the the collision will last for 0.053 s.

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C) Burmese pythons lack natural predators and can utilize a wide variety of food sources in the Everglades.

Explanation:

Due to it being an invasive specie (naturally found in South Asia), and also one of the five largest species of snakes in the world, the Burmese pythons lack natural predators in this new territories.

The Burmese viper is also an opportunistic hunter and would eat anything it can overpower, it easily made a wide range of food varieties in these swamps.
