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.

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 590 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's get the data for this question before proceeding to solve the problems.

Mass of flywheel = 40kg

Speed of flywheel = 590rpm

Diameter = 75cm , radius = diameter/ 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5cm.

Time = 30s = 0.5 min

During the power off, the flywheel made 230 complete revolutions.

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + ω₂) / 2] × 0.5

But ∇θ = 230 revolutions

∇θ/t = (530 + ω₂) / 2

230 / 0.5 = (530 + ω₂) / 2

Solve for ω₂

460 = 295 + 0.5ω₂

ω₂ = 330rpm

a)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

but α = ?

α = (ω₂ - ω₁) / t

α = (330 - 590) / 0.5

α = -260 / 0.5

α = -520rev/min

b)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

0 = 590 +(-520)t

520t = 590

solve for t

t = 590 / 520

t = 1.13min

60 seconds = 1min

X seconds = 1.13min

x = (60 × 1.13) / 1

x = 68seconds

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + 0) / 2] × 1.13

∇θ = 333.35 rev/min
