+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>

Lillian (mass 40.0 kg) standing at rest on slippery ice catches her leaping dog (mass 15 kg) moving horizontally at 3.0 m/s. Wha
mestny [16]

Answer:

0.82 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum = Final momentum.

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')......................... equation 1

Where m = mass of Lillian, u = initial velocity of Lillian before she catches the dog, m' = mass of the dog, u' = initial velocity of the dog, V = velocity of Lillian and the dog.

make V the subject of the equation,

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................ Equation 2

Given: m = 40 kg, m' = 15 kg, u = 0 m/s (Lillian was standing at rest), u' = 3.0 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

V = (40×0+15×3)/(40+15)

V = (0+45)/55

V = 45/55

V = 0.82 m/s
