If Thomson’s atomic theory was accurate, what would the results of Rutherford’s gold foil experiment have been?

Answer:

If Thomson's atomic theory was accurate, the positively charged particles would have gone through the foil. The balanced positive charges and negative charges within the atom would have made the atom neutral, and the positive charges would not have been concentrated enough to cause deflection.

A uniformly charged, one-dimensional rod of length L has total positive charge Q. Itsleft end is located at x = ????L and its ri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

|\vec{F}| = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))

Explanation:

The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.

In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.

We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.

Applying Coulomb's Law:

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qdq}{x + x_0}(\^x)

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.

Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{dq}{dx}\\dq = \frac{Qdx}{L}

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQdx}{L(x+x_0)}(\^x)

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

\vec{F} = \int{d\vec{F}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}\int\limits^{L}_0 {\frac{1}{x+x_0}} \, dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))(\^x)

A proton, starting from rest, accelerates through a potential difference of 1.0 kV and then moves into a magnetic field of 0.040
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

r = 0.11 m

Explanation:

The radius of the proton's resulting orbit can be calculated equaling the force centripetal (Fc) with the Lorentz force (F_{B}), as follows:

F_{c} = F_{B} \rightarrow \frac{m*v^{2}}{r} = qvB (1)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>m: is the proton's mass =  1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg</em>

<em>v: is the proton's velocity</em>

<em>r: is the radius of the proton's orbit</em>

<em>q: is the proton charge = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>B: is the magnetic field = 0.040 T </em>

Solving equation (1) for r, we have:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}   (2)

By conservation of energy, we can find the velocity of the proton:

K = U \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = q*\Delta V   (3)

<u>Where:</u>

<em>K: is kinetic energy</em>

<em>U: is electrostatic potential energy</em>

<em>ΔV: is the potential difference = 1.0 kV </em>

Solving equation (3) for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Dela V}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*1.0 \cdot 10^{3} V}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}} = 4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s  

Now, by introducing v into equation (2), we can find the radius of the proton's resulting orbit:

r = \frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*4.38 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.040 T} = 0.11 m

Therefore, the radius of the proton's resulting orbit is 0.11 m.

I hope it helps you!

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
