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

Physics

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.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m

A dog running at 10 m/s is 30m behind a rabbit moving at 5 m/s. when will the dog catch up with the rabbit assuming both their v
dedylja [7]

The will dog catch up with the rabbit in 6 minutes assuming both their velocities remain constant during the chase.

<h3>What time will the dog catch the rabbit?</h3>

The time that the dog will catch up with the rabbit is given as follows:

Let the distance covered by the rabbit be x.

Distance covered by dog = x + 30

  • Time taken = distance/speed

The time taken will be the same T

  1. Time taken by dog, T = (x + 30)/10
  2. Time taken by rabbit, T = x/5

Equating both times.

(x + 30)/10 = x/5

x = 30 m

Solving for T in equation (ii);

T = 30/5 = 6 minutes

In conclusion, time is obtained as a ratio of distance and speed.

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha
Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.
