A lithium atom has 3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. How would the atom change to become a cation? How would the atom change to become an anion?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- For the lithium ion to change to become an anion, it will have to gain one or more electrons which can be pulled away from possibly other atoms with a weaker affinity for them.

- For the lithium ion to change to become a cation, it will have to loose one or more electrons which can be drawn by other atoms with a stronger affinity for them.

Explanation:

Generally, an anion has a net negative charge arising from the fact that it has more electrons than protons while a cation has a net positive charge arising from the fact that it has more protons than electrons.

Now, for the lithium ion to change to an anion, it means it has to have more electrons than it's protons. Thus, since it has 3 number each of protons and electrons, it will have to gain one or more electrons which can be pulled away from possibly other atoms with a weaker affinity for them.

Now, for the lithium ion to change to a cation, it means it has to have more protons than it's electrons. Thus, since it has 3 number each of protons and electrons, it will have to loose one or more electrons which can be drawn out by possibly other atoms with a stronger affinity for them.

Answers

Answer:

Momentum is directly proportional to the object's mass and also its velocity. Thus the greater an object's mass or the greater its velocity, the greater its momentum. Momentum p is a vector having the same direction as the velocity v. The SI unit for momentum is kg · m/s.

what element has 3 protons and 4 electrons?

Answers

Answer:

Li⁻

Explanation:

# of protons = # element on the Periodic Table.

# of protons (+) + # of electrons (-) = overall charge

3 protons is the 3rd element on the Periodic Table: Lithium

All elements on the Periodic Table have a neutral charge. Lithium neutral has 3 protons and 3 electrons.

We are given 4 electrons; 3 + -4 = -1 charge overall.

Therefore, our ion is Li⁻

A. An electric motor hums as it powers a conveyor belt
B. Stereo speakers emit sound when powered by electrical energy.
O C. Sunlight strikes a solar panel, generating electricity.
O D. A car engine heats up while the car is being driven.
E. Wind moves a turbine, generating electricity.

Answers

Answer:

A. An electric motor hums as it powers a conveyor belt

D. A car engine heats up while the car is being driven.

Explanation:

Energy inefficiency usually involves loss of energy as other forms when they are being converted from one form to another.

The two choices that fit the description includes;

An electric motor humming as it powers a conveyor belt. This energy conversion is supposed to be from electrical to mechanical energy but there is a loss due to the sound energy produced by the motor. Heat energy produced as the car is driven also results in energy inefficiency.

Other choices do not show this inefficiency.  

Answer:

A. An electric motor hums as it powers a conveyor belt

D. A car engine heats up while the car is being driven.

What is the legal height the player is allowed to serve from a. Above the waist B. Below the waist C. On the waist D. above the chest

Answers

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

I guess that this refers to the Badminton rules, particularly to the position of the racket (or the head of the racket, where the "head" is the part with the net, that you use to hit the shuttle) when serving.

The head of the racket must be swung from below your waist. So the head of the racket must be below your waist before you do the service (With a part of the head is enough).

Then the correct option is B. Below the waist.

On an icy day, you worry about parking your car in your driveway, which has an incline of 12º. Your neighbor's driveway has an incline of 9.0º, and the driveway across the street is at 6.0º. The coefficient of static friction between tire rubber and ice is 0.15. Which driveway(s) will be safe to park in?

Answers

Answer:

Driveway across the street ([tex]\theta = 6^{\circ}[/tex]) is the only choice for a safe parking.

Explanation:

Let suppose that car is represented by a particle, then we proceed to construct its free body diagram and corresponding equations of equilibrium:

[tex]\Sigma F_{x'} = f - W\cdot \sin \theta = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)

[tex]\Sigma F_{y'} = N-W\cdot \cos \theta = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]f[/tex] - Static friction force, measured in newtons.

[tex]N[/tex] - Normal force on the car from the ground, measured in newtons.

[tex]W[/tex] - Weight of the car, measured in newtons.

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Driveway inclination, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

By applying definitions of maximum static friction force and weight, we expand the system of equations presented above:

[tex]\mu_{s}\cdot N -m\cdot g\cdot \sin \theta = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1b)

[tex]N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2b)

Where:

[tex]\mu_{s}[/tex] - Static coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the car, measured in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Then, we substitute normal force and simplify the resulting expression:

[tex]\mu_{s}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta -m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = 0[/tex]

[tex]\mu_{s} = \tan \theta[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1}\mu_{s}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

Based on such result, we can conclude that if driveway inclination is greater than value reported, then car shall not be safe in case of parking. Our reference angle is: ([tex]\mu_{s} = 0.15[/tex])

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1} 0.15[/tex]

[tex]\theta \approx 8.531^{\circ}[/tex]

By direct comparison, we find that driveway across the street ([tex]\theta = 6^{\circ}[/tex]) is the only choice for a safe parking.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 3.37 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

[tex]acceleration = \frac{force}{mass} \\[/tex]

From the question

force = 172 N

mass = 51 kg

We have

[tex]acceleration = \frac{172}{51} \\ = 3.372549019...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

3.37 m/s²

A ping pong ball rolls off a 5.Om high table and lands on the floor, 3.0m
away from the table. How long is the ball in the air?

Answers

Answer:

The ball was 1.01 seconds in the air

Explanation:

Horizontal Motion

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, the range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}[/tex]

If we know the value of d and h, we can solve the equation for v:

[tex]\displaystyle v=d\cdot\sqrt{\frac {g}{2h}}[/tex]

Since the horizontal speed is constant, we can calculate the time the ball was in the air by using the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

The ping pong ball rolls from a height of h=5 m and lands on the floor a distance of d= 3 m away from the table. Calculate the speed:

[tex]\displaystyle v=3\cdot\sqrt{\frac {9.8}{2\cdot 5}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v=3\cdot\sqrt{\frac {9.8}{10}}[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]v=2.97\ m/s[/tex]

Now calculate the time:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{3}{2.97}[/tex]

[tex]t=1.01\ sec[/tex]

The ball was 1.01 seconds in the air

Note: The time does not depend on the distance d at all. If we borrow the equation from free-fall motion, the time can be calculated with:

[tex]\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac {10}{9.8}}=1.01\ sec[/tex]
