When a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged and is called a(n)

Physics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: If a spring-operated gun can shoot a pellet to a maximum height of 100 m on Earth,
crimeas [40]

Answer:

h' = 603.08 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height of pellet = 100 m

Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?

Therefore,

(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)

Vi = 44.27 m/s

Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:

2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²

h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?

Therefore,

2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)

<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

If 5 mm of rain falls in a 100 m2 field, what volume of rain, in m3, fell in the field?
Nina [5.8K]

The volume of rain that fells in the field is simply given by the area of the field, which is

A=100 mm^2

multiplied by the height of rain that fell, which is

h=5.0 mm

Therefore, the volume is

V=hA=(5 mm)(100 mm^2)=500 mm^3

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light. if some of the blue
Anestetic [448]

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light if some of the blue light in an led is used to cause a fluorescent material to glow the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

How efficient is LED?

Different wavelengths that correlate to different visible colours are used in LED light therapy. Various shades pierce the skin at different rates.

  1. Your skin's outermost layer is impacted by blue light.
  2. Yellow light is more enveloping.
  3. Red light penetrates your skin more deeply.
  4. The deepest penetrating light is near-infrared.

Different LED hues have various effects. For instance, according to experts red LED light therapy has the potential to reduce inflammation and boost collagen formation, which declines with age and is crucial for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Acne-causing bacteria may be destroyed by a blue LED light therapy (P. acnes).

Hence the answer is the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.
