4. What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?

Physics

MakcuM [25]3 years ago

In an atom, you have three particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. 

When you add or subtract electrons from an atom, it means that there are either more protons than electrons (positively charged) or there are more electrons than protons (negatively charged).

You cannot add or subtract protons since they are the atomic number, which means the number of protons determines the element. Neutrons have a neutral charge, so they wouldn't affect the charge at all.

I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.

ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.

iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.

iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.

A vector is given by R 2i + j+3k. Find (a) magnitudes of the x, y, and z components; (b) the ma nitude of R; and (c) the angles
Darya [45]

Answer:

given,

R = 2i + j+3k

a) magnitude in x = 2

                          y = 1

                          z = 3

b) magnitude of R

R = \sqrt{2^2+1^2+3^2}

R = 3.74 units

c) angle between the R and  the x, y, and z axes.

cos \theta_x=\dfrac{2}{3.74}

θ x = 57.72°

cos \theta_y=\dfrac{1}{3.74}

θ y = 74.51°

cos \theta_z=\dfrac{3}{3.74}

θ z = 36.68°

The greater the frequency of the waves, the ____________ the pitch.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Higher.

Explanation:

The greater the frequency the bigger the amplitude gets and the greater pitch gets.

Think - more energy, bigger waves, more waves, and higher sound

A mole of yellow photons of wavelength 527 nm has __________ kj of energy.
Snezhnost [94]
227kj Because The first thing to do here is to calculate the energy of a single photon of wavelength equal to
527 nm
, then use Avogadro's number to scale this up to the energy of a mole of such photons.
