Explain how valence electrons can result in the creation of ions.

1 answer:

7 0

So as you may know atoms are neutral because the number of protons (+ charge) and the number of electrons( - charge) are the same so they cancel out. When a valence electron leaves an atom it will have a +1 charge because there is one less negative than positives or there is one more positive than negatives since a negative electron left. If a valence electron is added a -1 charge because there is now one more negative than positive!!!
hope that helps!!

How am I supposed to solve this?

RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.

atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

$\boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}$

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

m = 0.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 15 m
PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}$

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

A bicycle rider pushes a 13kg bicycle up a steep hill. the incline is 24 degree and the road is 275m long. the rider pushes the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A. W = 6875.0 J.

B. W = -14264.6 J.

Explanation:

A. The work done by the rider can be calculated by using the following equation:

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{1})$

Where:

$F_{r}$ : is the force done by the rider = 25 N

d: is the distance = 275 m

θ: is the angle between the applied force and the distance

Since the applied force is in the same direction of the motion, the angle is zero.

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(0) = 25 N*275 m = 6875.0 J$

Hence, the rider does a work of 6875.0 J on the bike.

B. The work done by the force of gravity on the bike is the following:

$W_{g} = |F_{g}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

The force of gravity is given by the weight of the bike.

$F_{g} = -mgsin(24)$

And the angle between the force of gravity and the direction of motion is 180°.

$W_{g} = |mgsin(24)|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

$W_{g} = 13 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(24)*275 m*cos(180) = -14264.6 J$

The minus sign is because the force of gravity is in the opposite direction to the motion direction.

Therefore, the magnitude of the work done by the force of gravity on the bike is 14264.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following represents a chemical change to matter? A. digestion of food B. melting an ice cube C. shredding paper D.

guajiro [1.7K]

The answer is A. digestion of food. The chemical change to matter means that the molecule structure has been destroyed. For B, C and D. the matter are still ice, paper and ice. So they are physical change.
