Answer:

The ion has fewer electrons

Explanation:

As Rubidium forms a positive ion Rb⁺ the number of electrons becomes fewer for the atom.

A positive charge on an ion indicates that the number of protons for the atom is greater than the number of electrons.
This leaves a net positive charge on the atom.
For a negatively charged ion, the number of electrons is more than the number of protons because they have gained additional electrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same.

As part of a safety investigation, two 1900 kg cars traveling at 20 m/s are crashed into different barriers. Part A Find the ave

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

- $29.2\times 10^{3} N$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cars= m=1900 kg

Initial speed of car=u=20 m/s

Final speed of car=v=0

Time= $\Delta t$ =1.3 s

We have to find the average force exerted on the car.

Average force= $\frac{change\;in\;momentum}{\Delta t}$

$F_{avg}=\frac{mv-mu}{1.3}$

$F_{avg}=\frac{1900(0)-1900(20)}{1.3}$

$F_{avg}=\frac{-38000}{1.3}=-29.2\times 10^{3} N$

Hence, the average force exerted on the car that hits a line of water barrels=- $29.2\times 10^{3} N$

Use the law of universal gravitation to describe the relationship between you and your desk

tangare [24]

The law of gravitation states that things closer to the core of gravitation, have a larger force pulling down on them. In relation of you to your desk, you and the desk are both drawn downwards towards the center of gravity.
