The radius of Earth's circular trajectory is
R=1.5*10^{11} m
The time for the Earth to travel around the Sun is
t=365(days)*24(hours)*3600(seconds) =3.1536*10^7 (s)
Thus the velocity is velocity
v=2\pi R/t =2\pi *1.5*10^{11}/(3.1536*10^{7})=2.99*10^4 (m/s)
From this we can deduce the centripetal acceleration
a=v^2/R =(2.99*10^4)^2/(1.5*10^{11}) =5.96*10^{-3}  (m/s^2)
Angular velocity is
\omega =v/R =(2.99*10^4)/(1.5*10^{11})=2*10^{-7} (rad/s)

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

What is the mechanical advantage of the level shown below?
snow_lady [41]

the correct answer is B. 1.27

Mechanical advantage of a lever is simply the ratio of the effort arm to the load arm.Effort arm is the distance from the pivot to the point of application of force while load arm is the distance of the lord from the pivot.

therefore, in this question, the effort arm is 0.28m while the load arm is 0.22 m. MA is calculated as follows: MA=effort arm/load arm

                                                         =0.28m/0.22m=1.27

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl
-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
