Answer: A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Explanation:

First, we know that the elementary negative charge is the electron, while the positive one is the proton. Such that both have the same charge in magnitude, but a different sign. Such that if we have the same number of electrons and protons in an atom, the charge of this atom will be neutral.

And an ion is an atom with a different number of electrons and protons, so the charge of the atom is not neutral.

Then if we have a negatively-charged ion, the charge of this atom is negative. Then we must have a larger number of electrons (the negative ones) than protons (the positive ones)

Then the correct option is:

A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

*FRICTIONAL FORCE* in the opposite direction of the way Bobby is pushing.
Friction is a force which varies but it is always opposing the direction of motion.

*APPLIED FORCE* is the force that Bobby is pushing with.
An applied force is literally the force that is applied to an object.

*WEIGHT FORCE* is also called the force of gravity. It is straight downward.
It is the weight of the object multiplied by the force of gravity. If the TV weighed 100kg, acceleration is always 9.81 m/s^2, so the weight force would be 981 N.

*NORMAL FORCE* is the force which is holding the TV above ground. The ground supplies a force upward against the TV.
Normal force is just the force that prevents the TV from falling through the ground. We don't normally realize it in our everyday life, but the floor must hold everything up because gravity is always "pushing" against it.

A car has an acceleration of -5 m/s^2. Describe the car’s motion

AlladinOne [14]

Explanation:

because the acceleration is negative, this indicates a deceleration (or slowing down) . Hence we can say that:

The car is decelerating (slowing down), i.e its velocity is decreasing, at a constant rate of 5m/s².
