+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>

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

I=\Delta p = m\Delta v

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

I=F \Delta t

where in this case

I=328.6 kg m/s is the linear impulse

\Delta t = 0.812 s is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region
Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z=\frac{13-10}{3}

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.
