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

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 m

kramer

Answer:

The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 19 cm

Focal length = 5.5 mm

Magnification = 200

Object distance = -25 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

$m=\dfrac{d}{f_{o}}+\dfrac{-25}{f_{0}f_{e}}$

Put the value into the formula

$f_{e}=\dfrac{19\times(-25)}{.55(-200-\dfrac{19}{.55})}$

$f_{e}=3.68\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

Beth, a construction worker, attempts to pull a stake out of the ground by pulling on a rope that is attached to the stake. The

Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y: opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.
