What is an ion and how does an atom become both positive or negative ion?

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge. Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell: metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.

Idaho Jo is doing physics experiments throughout the solar system. She travels to each planet and shoots a potato straight up in
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Mercury / Mars

Explanation:

For an object launched straight upward, the following SUVAT equation can be used

v^2-u^2=-2gh

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity (free fall acceleration) (the negative sign is due to the downward direction of gravity)

h is the maximum height reached

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v = 0. Re-arranging the equation,

h=\frac{u^2}{2g}

So we see that for equal initial velocity (u), the maximum height reaches is inversely proportional to the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, the potato gun will reach the highest altitude in the planets with lowest acceleration of gravity, therefore Mercury and Mars (3.7 and 3.6 m/s^2).

At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.30 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Suppose, A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 50.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal.

Given that,

Mass of steel block = 2.30 kg

Mass of ball = 0.500 kg

Length of cord = 50.0 cm

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl

v=\sqrt{2gl}

Put the value into the formula

u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times50.0\times10^{-2}}

u=3.13\ m/s

The initial speed of the ball u_{1}=3.13\ m/s

The initial speed of the block u_{2}=0

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the ball after collision

Using formula of collision

v_{1}=(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{2m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=(\dfrac{0.5-2.30}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13

v_{1}=-2.01\ m/s

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of initial direction.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the block after collision

Using formula of collision

v_{2}=(\dfrac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{2}=(\dfrac{2\times0.5}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13+0

v_{2}=1.11\ m/s

Hence, (a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.
