Why is the overall charge on an atom neutral?

Physics

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
5 0

The overall charge on a neutral atom is zero.

A neutral atoms contains equal number of electrons and protons.The charge of a proton and electron is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. A proton has a charge of 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C. Thus in a neutral atom, the charge of all the protons gets cancelled with the charge of all the electrons.

Thus a neutral atom has a net zero charge.

How much heat is required to completely boil away 0.200 kg of water (ΔHv = 2.26 × 103 kJ/kg)?
alexandr1967 [171]
We will use the formula:
Q = ml
where Q is the heat, m is the mass of substance, and l is the latent heat of vaporization of the substance.

Q = 0.2 x 2.26 x 10³
Q = 452 kJ

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The force from the truck on the car is always equal to the force from the car on the truck.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law; action and reaction are equal and opposite. Hence, when the big truck and small passenger car are involved in a collision, we expect that the force from the truck on the car is always equal to the force from the car on the truck. The forces on the car and the truck are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

This follows directly from Newton's third law of motion hence the answer above.

On a hypothetical scale X The ice point is 40° and steam point is 120°.
arlik [135]

Answer:

The reading of Y is -10°.

Explanation:

For scale X, the ice point is 40° and steam point is 120°.

Difference between the two extremes for scales X = 120 - 40 = 80

For scale X, the ice point and steam points are -30° and 130° respectively.

Difference between the two extremes for scales X = 130 - (-30) = 160

Comparing both scales:

One unit of scale X = x

One unit of scale Y = y

Scale X has 80 divisions while scale Y has 160

80x = 160y

x = 2y

50° in scale X = 10x + ice point in X scale

10 divisions in Y scale = 20y

Reading of Y scale = ice point of Y + 20y

= -30° + 20°

= -10°

A series RLC circuit consists of a 52.0 Ω resistor, a 4.80 mH inductor, and a 330 nF capacitor. It is connected to an oscillator
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

(G) 75.11 ohm

(H) 0.08 A

(I) 46.2 degree

Explanation:

R = 52 ohm

L = 4.8 m H = 4.8 x 106-3 H

C = 330 nF = 330 x 10^-9 F

Vo = 6 V

(G)

f = 5000 Hz

Let the impedance is Z.

X_{L}= 2 \pi fL = 2 \times 3.14\times 5000\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=150.72 ohm

X_{c}= \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14\times 5000\times 330\times 10^{-9}}=96.51 ohm

Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left ( X_{L}-X_{c} \right )^{2}}

Z=\sqrt{52^{2}+\left (150.72-96.51)^{2}}=75.11 ohm

(H) Let Io be the peak current

I_{0}=\frac{V_{0}}{Z}=\frac{6}{75.11}=0.0798 A = 0.08 A

(I) Let Ф be the phase angle

tan\phi = \frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

tan\phi =\frac{150.72-96.51}}{52}=1.0425

Ф = 46.2 degree
