Rutherford's Gold foil experiment involved the firing of atoms at a piece of gold foil only a few atoms thick. Rutherford expected that the particles would go straight through, but some were deflected. This experiment proved that atoms have a dense positively charged nucleus.

Answer: d. They showed that atoms have a dense nucleus.

Answer:

d) They showed that atoms have a dense nucleus.

Explanation:

Thomson's  model  predicted that the atom is composed of negatively charged electrons, which is surrounded by positively charged cloud. This was called Plum pudding model of the atom.

But Rutherford proved it to be incorrect . His gold foil experiment showed that the atom's central part is heavy and positively charged. The deflections of the alpha particles showed that the heavy central region is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.

The first law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the law of conservation of Energy. It states that:

Answer:

C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

Where;

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.

During a tennis volley, a ball that arrives at a player at 40 m/s is struck by the racquet and returned at 40 m/s. The other pla
Butoxors [25]

Answer:Racquet force is twice of Player force

Explanation:

Given

ball arrives at a speed of u=-40\ m/s

ball returned with speed of v=40\ m/s

average Force imparted by racquet on the ball is given by

F_{racquet}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

where m=mass\ of\ ball

\Delta t=time of contact of ball with racquet

F_{racquet}=\frac{m(40-(-40))}{\Delta t}

F_{racquet}=\frac{80m}{\Delta t}-----1

When it land on the player hand its final velocity becomes zero and time of contact is same as of racquet

F_{player}=\frac{m(0-40)}{\Delta t}

F_{player}=\frac{-40m}{\Delta t}-----2

From 1 and 2 we get

F_{racquet}=-2F_{player}

Hence the magnitude of Force by racquet is twice the Force by player
