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.

A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

A passenger on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle at a constant speed. Are the forces on her balanced?

vovikov84 [41]

C. The force is a constant change, because her position on the Ferris wheel will constantly change. I believe this is the answer, but use sources to double check. I might use different vocab. then your teachers.

A police car chases a speeder along a straight road towards a cliff both vehicles move at 160km/h the siren on the police car pr

natta225 [31]

Answer:

f ’= 97.0 Hz

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the doppler effect use the frequency change due to the relative movement of the fort and the observer

in this case the source is the police cases that go to vs = 160 km / h

and the observer is vo = 120 km / h

the relationship of the doppler effect is

f ’= f₀ (v + v₀ / v- $v_{s}$ )

let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

v_{s} = 160 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 44.44 m / s

v₀ = 120 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 33.33 m / s

we substitute in the equation of the Doppler effect

f ‘= 100 (330+ 33.33 / 330-44.44)

f ’= 97.0 Hz
