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.

An astronaut has a momentum of 280 kg and travels 10 m/s. what is the mass of the astronaut?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's momentum and velocity / speed can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

where

m is the mass

p is the momentum

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

p = 280 kg/ms

v = 10 m/s

The mass of the object is

$m = \frac{280}{10} = 28 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to t

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

14.36 N

Explanation:

$T_{1}$ = Tension in string 1

$T_{2}$ = Tension in string 2

$m_b$ = mass of the bar = 2.7 kg

$W_b$ = weight of the bar

weight of the bar is given as

$W_b = m_{b} g = (2.7) (9.8) = 26.46$ N

$m_m$ = mass of the bar = 1.35 kg

$W_m$ = weight of the monkey

weight of the monkey is given as

$W_m = m_{m} g = (1.35) (9.8) = 13.23$ N

Using equilibrium of torque about left end

$W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AC)\\W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AD - CD)\\(13.23) (1.5) + (26.46)(1.5) = T_{2} (3 - 0.65)\\\\T_{2} = 25.33$ N

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

$T_{1} + T_{2} = W_{b} + W_{m}\\T_{1} + 25.33 = 26.46 + 13.23\\T_{1} = 14.36$ N

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

There should be an image that should accompanied your question, I was able to chcek it from other sources. the acceleration of the block when the scale reads 32N is <span>4.0 m/s*s</span>

Complete Question

Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Initially sphere A carries a charge q and the others are uncharged. Sphere A is brought in contact with sphere B, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

h. 0

Answer:

The correct option is b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge carried by A is q C

The charge carried by B is 0 C

The charge carried by C is 0 C

When A and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by A and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{ 0 + q}{2} = \frac{q}{2}$

When C and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{0 + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{q}{4}$

When C and A are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and A is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{\frac{q}{4} + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{3q}{8}$

Looking at these calculation we can see that the charge carried by B is

$\frac{q}{4} C$
