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.

If a 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft
mamaluj [8]

Answer: 3217.79 hours.

Explanation:

Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).

Power = 0.4 watt

Mass of climber = 140 lb

= 140 x 0.4535 kg  [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]

⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg

Let h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \  [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ] and h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m

Now, Energy saved =mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J

\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}

Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.
