When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *

2 answers:

5 0

+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.

Answer:

The correct answer is answer choice D. +1

Explanation:

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.

A ball is thrown 20.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal. Assume the ball is thrown at ground level.

TEA [102]

The ball's horizontal component of velocity (ie it's horizontal speed) is 20 cos 40degrees. Without knowing the distance of the ball to the wall it's difficult to go further ...

A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.62 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the

arsen [322]

Total displacement of the car: 405 m

Explanation:

The first part of the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the suvat equation

$s_1=ut_1+\frac{1}{2}a_1 t_1^2$

where:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the car starts from rest)

$t_1 = 20 s$ is the time elapsed in the 1st part

$a_1=1.62 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the car in the 1st part

$s_1$ is the displacement of the car in the 1st part

Solving for $s_1$ ,

$s_1=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.62)(20)^2=324 m$

We can also find the velocity of the car after these 20 seconds using the equation:

$v_1 = u +a_1 t_1 = 0 + (1.62)(20)=32.4 m/s$

Now we can find the distance covered by the car in the 2nd part, where it decelerates after having seen the tree limb on the road. We can do it by using the suvat equation:

$s_2 = (\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2})t_2$
