+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.

<em>≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡Ф</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is answer choice D. +1

Explanation:

<em>Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.</em>

If a sound is 30 dB and its absolute pressure was 66 x 10-9 Pa, what must have been the reference pressure?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Given:

I = 30dB

P = 66 × 10^{-9} Pa

Solution:

Formula used:

I = 20\log_{10}(\frac{P}{P_{o}})           (1)

where,

I = intensity of sound

P = absolute pressure

P_{o} = reference pressure

Using Eqn (1), we get:

30 = 20\log _{10}\frac{66\times 10^{-9}}{P^{o}}

P_{o} = \frac{66\times 10^{-9}}{10^{1.5}}

P_{o} = 2.08 × 10^{-9} Pa

A block attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.0 s. What is the period if
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by \sqrt{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. We proceed to present the complete statement: <em>A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.00 s. What is the period if </em><em>a. </em><em>The mass is doubled? </em><em>b.</em><em> The mass is halved? </em><em>c.</em><em> The amplitude is doubled? </em><em>d.</em><em> The spring constant is doubled? </em>

We have a block-spring system, whose angular frequency (\omega) is defined by the following formula:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } (1)

Where:

k - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

And the period (T), measured in seconds, is determined by the following expression:

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we get the following formula:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by \sqrt{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Light of wavelength O is passed through a diffraction grating with N lines/meter and then lands on a screen a distance L from th
rodikova [14]

Condition for diffraction

dsin\theta = m\lambda

Where

a = Distance between slits

m = Order of the fringes

\lambda = Wavelength

\theta = At the angle between the ray of light and the projected distance perpendicular between the two objects

For small angles

sin\theta = \approx tan\theta

Where

tan\theta = \frac{Y}{L}

Where L is the distance between the slits and Y the length of the light.

Replacing we have

d\frac{Y}{L} = \lambda m

Y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d}

The distance between slits d can be expressed also as d= \frac{L}{N} Where N is the number of the fringes, then

Y_n = mN\lambda L

Similarly when there is added a new Fringe we have the change of the distance would be :

Y_{n+1} = (m+1)N\lambda L

Linear distance between fringes is

\Delta Y = \Delta Y_{m+1}-Y_m

\Delta Y = (m+1)N\lambda L - mN\lambda L

Therefore the answer is

\Delta Y = N\lambda L

Jamal is 8 miles away from his house. He rides his bike home toward home at a speed of 12 mph.. How far away from home is he aft
Katarina [22]
2 miles away from home. 12/6 gives you 6 miles per half hour and then you take 8-6 and get 2 miles. So Jamal is 2 miles away from home.
