It must gain an electron because if the proton number was to change it would no longer be the same element.
Hello!
Vx = V0x + Ax*t
Vx = 18.1 + 2.4t
Let’s take time as 7.50 seconds:
Vx = 18.1 + 2.4*7.50
Vx = 18.1 + 18 = 36.1 m/s
Then, the final velocity of the car is 36.1 m/s.
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides.
<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>
<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>
