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>.

A car moves 50km in the first 30 minutes and 50km in the second 30 minutes and continues in this way which motion is this ------
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Uniform rectilinear movement (m. r. u.)

Explanation:

It is a continuous movement without acceleration, that is, it moves at a constant speed. The speed does not change over time, for this reason, there is no change in acceleration.

Vf = final velocity = 50/30 [km/s] = 1.67 [km/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 50/30 [km/s] = 1.67 [km/s]

A basketball player is 4.22 m from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.

A = (0, -9.8m/s^)

For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:

V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))

for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)

P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)

now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:

4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t

t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s

Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:

h =  -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m

The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

A spy camera is said to be able to read the numbers on a car's license plate. If the numbers on the plate are 4.30 cm apart, and
Maslowich

Answer:

D = 2.38 m

Explanation:

This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit

         a sin θ  = m λ

Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle

           θ = λ / a

Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the circular tightness

       

Let's apply this equation to our case

         D = 1.22 λ /  θ

To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry

         tan  θ = y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹  y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)

          θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)

          θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad

Let's calculate

        D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷

        D = 2.38 m

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

W = E_p = mgh

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J
