Answer:

negative ion

Explanation:

An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion.

The positively charged particles in an atom are the protons

The negatively charged particles in an atom are the electrons.

The charge an atom carries depends on the balance between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

When the number of protons is more than the number of electrons, the atom is positively charged.
When the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged.

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

A housekeeper is cleaning the kitchen and decides to to use a ladder to reach a top shelf. As he/she is cleaning he/she is start

pshichka [43]

The amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same.

The magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg

where;

m is the mass of the housekeeper

g is acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The force exerted on the housekeeper by the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the Earth by the housekeeper.

$F_{H} = - F_{E}$

The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Thus, the correct option is " the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same"

The missing part of the question is below:

a. the Earth exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

b. the housekeeper exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

c. the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same

A hockey stick strikes a hockey puck of mass 0.17 kg. If the force exterted on the hockey puck is 35.0 N and there is a force of

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$a=190\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.17 kg

Force exerted by the hockey puck, F' = 35 N

The force of friction, f = 2.7 N

We need to find the acceleration of the hockey puck.

Net force, F=F'-f

F=35-2.7

F=32.3 N

Now, using second law of motion,

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the hockey puck

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{32.3}{0.17}\\\\a=190\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the hockey puck is $190\ m/s^2$ .

which of the four forces makes paint cling to a wall ?which force makes adhesive sticky?which force makes wax to stick a car ?

True [87]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of options.

However, the force that makes a paint cling to a wall is adhesive force. Adhesive force is the force between two unlike substances like a liquid clinging to a solid surface.

The force between adhesives or glue is also the force that makes them sticky. This force is referred to as cohesive force. This is a force found in between similar molecules (unlike adhesive force found between dissimilar molecules).

The force that makes wax to stick to a car is electromagnetic force. This is a force between charged particles; whether they appear to be moving or not. These particles of opposite charges come together to form a neutral force. In this case, charged atoms of the car and the wax come together (which causes what we see as the wax sticking to the car).
