Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t
sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of
kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

               

Explanation:

Given data:

        Radius of the earth  = 6000km

        Radius of an atom  = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

         1000m  = 1km

    6000km  = 6000 x 10³m   =  6 x 10⁶m

    60pm;

            1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 1pm

    60pm  = 60 x  1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order:   \frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }   = 1 x 10¹⁷

Which of Newton's Three Laws Applies? Law 1, 2, or 3?
frozen [14]

Answer:

1. Newton's first law

2.Newton's second law

3.Newton's third law

Explanation:

1. Newton's first law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force... this is base of the concept of inertia.

2. Newton's second law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: F = ma, or in easier words, F is directly proportional to a.

3. Newton's third law stated, When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body., In this case, the Normal Are opposite with gravititional force.

The acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?
VladimirAG [237]

We have that for the Question "the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?"

  • it can be said that the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line

From the question we are told

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?

Generally the equation for the Force  is mathematically given as

F=\frac{F}{dx}

Therefore

F=-kdx

k=600Nm^{-1}

now

K.E=0.5x ds^2

K.E=600*(-0.1^2)

K.E=3J

Therefore

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line
