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.

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

The quadriceps muscles pull on the patella simultaneously. Below are the forces from each
Nostrana [21]

Based on the calculation of the resultant of vector forces:

  1. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N
  2. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N. Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

<h3>What is the resultant force due to the quadriceps?</h3>

The resultant of more than two vector forces is given by:

  • F = √Fₓ² + Fₙ²

where:

  • Fₓ is the sum of the horizontal components of the forces
  • Fₙ is the sum of the vertical components of the forces
  • Fx = F₁cosθ + F₂cosθ + F₃cosθ + F₄cosθ
  • Fₙ = F₁sinθ + F₂sinθ + F₃sinθ + F₄sinθ
  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 480 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 480 * cos 55

Fx = -280.6 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 480 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1773.1 N

then:

F = √(-280.6)² + ( 1773.1)²

F = 1795.16 N

F ≈ 1795 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N

<h3>What would happen if the vastus medialis was trained and strengthened to contract with 720N of force?</h3>

From the new information provided:

  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 720 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 720 * cos 55

Fx = -142.95 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 720 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1969.72 N

then:

F = √(-142.95)² + ( 1969.72)²

F = 1974.9 N

F ≈ 1975 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N.

Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Kruka [31]
The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.

A boy weighing 50 kg is running at 2m/s. What is its kinetic energy? *<br> 10 points
pentagon [3]
The answer is 100.
The formula is KE = 1/2mv^2
Then you plug in 50 to the m
And 2 to the v . That’s how I got 100 .
Hope this helps

Why is the sky blue and doesn't change color
Softa [21]

The statement is <u>false</u> because the sky <u>can change </u>colors during sunsets, sun rises, etc. The sky is not always blue.
