Answer: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.
Answer: 1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface
Explanation:
Mass of the book = m = 0.2 kg
Normal force acting on the book,N = mg
Coefficient of friction =
= 0.65
Minimum force required to slide the book across the surface= F


1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface
a. Speed is defined as rate of change of distance per unit time whereas velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement per unit time.
b.
is the total time taken in the trip
c.
is the total distance
d.
towards right from the starting point.
e. 
f.
towards right.
Explanation:
a.
Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.
Speed is defined as rate of change of distance per unit time whereas velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement per unit time.
Speed is a directionless quantity while velocity constitutes direction.
b.
<em>Total time of round trip when we're given:</em>
- distance travelled to the right,

- speed while travelling to the right,

- time spent at gas station,

- time spent while travelling back towards the left,

- speed while travelling to the left,

<em>Now time taken for travelling towards right:</em>



<u>Therefore total time taken in the round trip:</u>



c.
<em>Now, distance travelled towards left:</em>



<u>Therefore total distance:</u>



d.
Now, total displacement:


towards right from the starting point.
e.
<u>Average speed:</u>



f.
<u>Average velocity:</u>


towards right.
