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.

A spaceship moves radially away from Earth with acceleration 29.4 m/s 2 (about 3g). How much time does it take for sodium street
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

doppler shift's formula for source and receiver moving away from each other:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

Explanation:

acceleration of spaceship=α=29.4m/s²

wavelength of sodium lamp=λ°=589nm

as the spaceship is moving away from earth so wavelength of earth should increase w.r.t increasing speed until it vanishes at λ'=700nm

using doppler shift's formula:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

putting the values:

700nm=589nm√(1+β/1-β)

after simplifying:

<em>β=0.17</em>

by this we can say that speed at that time is: v=0.17c

to calculate velocity at an acceleration of a=29.4m/s²

we suppose that spaceship started from rest so,

<em>v=v₀+at</em>

where v₀=0

so<em> v=at</em>

as we want to calculate t so:-

<em>t=v/a</em>                                                v=0.17c      ,c=3x10⁸           ,a=29.4m/s²

putting values:

=0.17(3x10⁸m/s)/29.4m/s²

<em>t=1.73x10⁶</em>

Why does conduction occur more slowly in gases than in solids?​
Nataly [62]
Onduction in gas is slower than in liquids and solids because the particles in a gas collide less often. Conduction in metals is faster because the electrons are free to move about

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m
