When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons

Physics
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
5 0
Note the atom of the Oxygen is electrically neutral, meaning it has equal numbers of electrons and protons.

So if it gains 2 electrons, it would have excess of 2 electrons, hence its charge would be -2.

Option B.

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the building.
Nadusha1986 [10]

The height of the building is 53.4 m (projectile motion)

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

First of all, we consider the horizontal motion, which is a uniform motion at constant speed. The equation that gives the horizontal distance travelled is:

d=v_x t  

where:

v_x = 50 m/s is the horizontal velocity of the ball, which is constant since there are no forces in this direction

d = 165 m is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball

Solving for t, we find the time of flight:

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s

Now we analyze the vertical motion: it is an accelerated motion, we can use the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2  

where  

s is the vertical displacement, which is the height of the building

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

t = 3.3 s is the time of flight

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity  

Solving for s, we find the height of the building:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.3)^2=53.4 m

Which trait shared by dolphins and bats possibly lead to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups? the need to m
Lisa [10]

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

<h3>What is the evolution of echolocation?</h3>

Our understanding of the evolution of echolocation in bats has shifted as a result of recent molecular phylogenies. These phylogenies imply that bats with advanced echolocation

According to one interpretation of these trees, laryngeal echolocation originated in the ancestor of all living bats. Echolocation may have been lost in Old World fruit bats

The vast adaptive radiation in echolocation call design is substantially controlled by ecology, demonstrating how environmental perceptual problems influence call design.

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

Hence option A is correct.

Earth's orbit around the Sun is slightly elliptical. Thus, Earth actually gets closer to the Sun during part of the year. What h
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

C)Earth's orbital speed is greater when it is closer to the Sun than when it is farther from the Sun.

Explanation:

We can use Kepler's 2nd law or the law of area to answer this question.

The law states that the rate of area swept out by a planet's orbit is same throughout the orbit. For the farthest point since the distance is large as compared to to the nearest point, the possibility that area swept is large. Hence, to compensate the extra swept area. the orbital speed has to decrease  at the largest point.

Hence, planet's speed is greater when it is closer to sun than the speed when it is farther.

How are emotional and intellectual health related
Tcecarenko [31]
A good way to think about mental and emotional health is like a tag team. Mental health refers to your ability to process information. Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.
