Explain how a rotating electric fan might be used to model the atom. explain how the rotating fan is unlike an atom.

1 answer:

3 0

A fan may be used to model an atom because the fan blades form something similar to a electron cloud. But there is really nothing to model the neutrons and protons. Also the fan is flat like where an atom is more 3-D sphere-like.

hope this helps

Ur welcome

have a great day (:

slega [8]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

Explanation:

As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same

So we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 + m_3v_3 = 0$

$(5 \times 10^{-27})(6 \times 10^6\hat j) + (8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6\hat i) + (3.6 \times 10^{-27}) v = 0$

$(30\hat j + 33.6\hat i)\times 10^6 + 3.6 v = 0$

$v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s$

Part b)

By equation of kinetic energy we have

$E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_3v_3^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(5 \times 10^{-27})(6\times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(3.6 \times 10^{-27})(8.33^2 + 9.33^2) \times 10^{12}$

$E = 9\times 10^{-14} + 6.72 \times 10^{-14} + 2.82\times 10^{-13}$

$E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left spher

FrozenT [24]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that metals are able to conduct electricity so, when a negatively charges rod is kept closer to the left sphere then electrons will enter the sphere.

Since, like charges repel each other. Hence, some of the negative changes from the rod will repel the negative charges of left sphere.

As both left and right spheres are touching each other so, the electrons will move towards the right sphere. As a result, there will be too many electrons (negative charge) present on the right sphere and very less electrons present in the left sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively, is true.

Is it accurate to say that galaxies take up most of the volume of space? Why or why not?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

ntergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.

Explanation:

so to be exact galixes do make up most of the volume of space because galaxies are what make up space!
