Describe the formation of both positive and negative ions

Physics

1 answer:

prisoha [69]3 years ago

8 0

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.

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?

Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up. Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology. Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle

FIGURE 2 shows a 1.5 kg block is hung by a light string which is wound around a smooth pulley of radius 20 cm. The moment of ine

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

At t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

Explanation:

First, we consider all the forces acting on the pulley.

There is only one force acting on the pulley, and that is due to the 1.5 kg mass attached to it.

Therefore, the torque on the pulley is

$\tau=Fd=mg\cdot R$

where m is the mass of the block, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the pulley.

Now we also know that the torque is related to angular acceleration α by

$\tau=I\alpha$

therefore, equating this to the above equation gives

$mg\cdot R=I\alpha$

solving for alpha gives

$\alpha=\frac{mgR}{I}$

Now putting in m = 1.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2, R = 20 cm = 0.20 m, and I = 2 kg m^2 gives

$\alpha=\frac{1.5\cdot9.8\cdot0.20}{2}$ $\boxed{\alpha=1.47s^{-2}}$

Now that we have the value of the angular acceleration in hand, we can use the kinematics equations for the rotational motion to find the angular velocity and the number of revolutions at t = 4.2 s.

The first kinematic equation we use is

$\theta=\theta_0+\omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

since the pulley starts from rest ω0 = 0 and theta = 0; therefore, we have

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Therefore, ar t = 4.2 s, the above gives

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}(1.47)(4.2)^2$

$\boxed{\theta=12.97}$

So how many revolutions is this?

To find out we just divide by 2 pi:

$\#\text{rev}=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{12.97}{2\pi}$ $\boxed{\#\text{rev}=2.06}$

Or about 2 revolutions.

Now to find the angular velocity at t = 4.2 s, we use another rotational kinematics equation:

$\omega^2=w^2_0+2\alpha(\Delta\theta)_{}$

Since the pulley starts from rest, ω0 = 0. The change in angle Δθ we calculated above is 12.97. The value of alpha we already know to be 1.47; therefore, the above becomes:

$\omega^2=0+2(1.47)(12.97)$ $w^2=38.12$ $\boxed{\omega=6.17.}$

Hence, the angular velocity at t = 4.2 w is 6. 17 rad / s

To summerise:

at t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. Arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potenti

RideAnS [48]

Correct order, from lowest potential energy to highest potential energy:

E - C - D - B - A

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the car is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the car's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the car relative to the ground

In the formula, we see that m and g are constant, so the potential energy of the car depends only on its height above the ground, h. The higher the car from the ground, the larger its potential energy. Therefore, the position with least potential energy will be E, since the height is the minimum. Then, C will have more potential energy, because the car is at higher position, and so on: the position with greatest potential energy is A, because the height of the car is maximum.
