Answer:

It is called an ion.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements can lose or gain electrons making them no longer neutral, they become charged. A charged atom is called an ion. When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons.

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, equation). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Explanation:

We are told that its volume increases by 9.05%.

Thus; (ΔV/V_o) = 9.05% = 0.0905

To find the force per unit area which is also pressure, we will use bulk modulus formula;

B = Δp(V_o/ΔV)

Making Δp the subject gives;

Δp = B(ΔV/V_o)

Now, B is bulk modulus of water with a value of 2.2 × 10^(9) N/m²

Thus;

Δp = 2.2 × 10^(9)[0.0905]

Δp = 1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

1.Predict the frequency of a tuning fork that emits a sound with a wavelength of 0.385 m.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

1.) Frequency F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

Explanation:

1.) Given that the wavelength = 0.385m

The speed of sound = 343 m / s

To predict the frequency, let us use the formula V = F λ

Where (λ) = wavelength = 0.385m

343 = F × 0.385

F = 343/0.385

F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Given that the frequency = 384Hz

Using the formula again

V = F λ

λ = V/F

Wavelength (λ) = 343/384

Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

The two questions can be solved with the use of formula

What change will always result in an increase in gravitational force between two objects

tekilochka [14]

The gravitational force between two object depends on their masses and on their distance.

Since the formula is

$F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

If the masses grow, the force also grows. But I'm assuming the two objects are fixed, so you can't enlarge their mass.

So, the only option remaining is to lower their distance: since it sits at the denominator, a smaller value of d results in a bigger value for F.

So, if you reduce the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will always result in an increase

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci

ozzi

Answer:

$r=2.4m$

Explanation:

We have to use the centripetal force equation

$Fc=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

we need the radious so we have to isolate "r" and we get

$r=\frac{mv^{2} }{Fc}$

replacing m=65 kg, v= 4.1 m/s and Fc=455N we get

$r=\frac{65*4.1^{2} }{455}$

$r=2.4m$

The radius of the amusement park chamber is 2.4m

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed

gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

$f = \frac{c}{ \lambda} \\$

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

$f = \frac{86}{0.39} \\ = 220.512820...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
