Answer:

B. -2

Explanation:

The total charge on an atom is the sum of all individual charges present in it. Therefore, the total charge on this atom is given by the following formula:

q = (n_p)(q_p)+(n_e)(q_e)+(n_n)(q_n)

where,

q = total charge on atom = ?

n_p = no. of protons in the atom = 15

n_e = no. of electrons in the atom = 17

n_n = no. of neutrons in the atom = 12

q_p = charge on proton = +1

q_e = charge on electron = -1

q_n = charge on neutron = 0

Therefore,

q = (15)(1)+(17)(-1)+(12)(0)\\q=-2

Hence the correct option is:

<u>B. -2</u>

How fast is the car traveling if it has driven a total of 200 miles in 5.5 hours?
Rom4ik [11]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                           =  (200 miles)  /  (5.5 hours)

                           =      (200/5.5)  mile/hour

                           =          36.4 miles per hour    (rounded)

How to find aceleration
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}

Explanation:

Formula for AVERAGE acceleration

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}

v_{f} is Final Velocity

v_{i} is Initial Velocity

t_{f} is Final Time

t_{i} is Initial Time

Most of the time, the initial time will be 0, so you won't have to subtract.

All organisms in Kingdom Animalia are multicellular, meaning their bodies are composed of more than one cell. Which other charac
k0ka [10]
Well,

For the first one, the answer would be C, because all organisms in Kingdom Animalia must eat in order to survive.

For the second one, all of the options are in Kingdom Animalia, but worms (A) and clams (C) are invertebrates.  So that leaves options B and D.

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)
