A system of 4 electrons, 18 protons, and 4 neutrons has a net charge of?

Answer:

+ 14

Explanation:

18 protons make a positive 18 charge (+18)

4 electrons make a negative 4 charge (-4)

both combined give + 18 - 4 = + 14

The four neutrons don't carry net charge, so the addition of the electrons doesn' affect the net charge found above which still gives + 14.

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird

Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}$

where $\displaystyle{\vec{a}}$ is acceleration, $\displaystyle{\vec{v}}$ is velocity and $\displaystyle{t}$ is time. $\displaystyle{v_2}$ means final velocity. $\displaystyle{v_1}$ means initial velocity, $\displaystyle{t_2}$ means final time and $\displaystyle{t_1}$ means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
Our initial time is 0 second.
Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}$

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.

Observe the two scenarios involving electrically charged objects. Predict what will happen when you bring the objects close toge

Margarita [4]

Answer:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. The electrons can build up to produce static electricity. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, you are creating many surface contacts between your feet and the carpet, allowing electrons to transfer to you, thereby building up a static charge on your skin. When you touch another person or an object, you can suddenly discharge the static as an electrical shock.

Explanation:

Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon. Consequently, when you pull the balloon slowly away from your head, you can see these two opposite static charges attracting one another and making your hair stand up.

How much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is

mafiozo [28]

1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km

<h3>What is Speed ?</h3>

Speed is the distance travelled per time taken. It is a scalar quantity. And the S.I unit is meter per second. That is, m/s

In the given question, we want to find how much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 10^5 km.

What are the parameters to consider ?

The parameters are;

The distance S = 3.85 × $10^{5}$ km

The Speed of Light C = 3 × $10^{8}$ m/s

The time taken t = ?

Speed = distance S ÷ Time t

Convert kilometer to meter by multiplying it by 1000

C = S/t

3 × $10^{8}$ = 3.85 × $10^{8}$ / t

Make t the subject of formula

t = 3.85 × $10^{8}$ / 3 × $10^{8}$

t = 1.2833

t = 1.3 s

Therefore, 1.3 second of time will be required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 × 105 km
