Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

                p = q s

               s = p / q

let's calculate

              s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

              s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.

alex41 [277]

Answer: it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form. Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

Jonathan must lift a 3000n rock using a lever. jonathan uses 300n of force to push down on the lever to move the rock. what is t
-Dominant- [34]
The load is the weight of the rock that Jonathan lifts:
L=3000 N
The effort instead is the force applied in input to the lever in order to lift the rock:
E=300 N

So, the ratio between load and effort for this exercise is
\frac{L}{E}= \frac{3000 N}{300 N}=10
So, the ratio is 10:1.

Which best explains the statement "It has no definite volume”?
Reika [66]
This means that this substance has no fixed volume and can expand or shrink however it may want. An example is gas. Gas will always expand to fill up the space it is in. 
If this helped please give brainliest answer, rate, and thanks!
