Locations of transient high-low pressure systems
The BUS will have the highest kinetic energy, while the BICYCLE will have the lowest kinetic energy.
This is because if an object has a greater mass, the kinetic energy of the object also increases. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2) and since the velocity of these vehicles are the same, the mass is the only difference
The sudden change in pressure when water vapor is released causes cavities inside the popcorn to vibrate and produce sound, the researchers suggest—much like a champagne bottle's pop when uncorked. The scientists also discovered the mechanism for the kernel's acrobatic hop into the air. Hope this helps! ~ Autumn :)
If you define the ground as position zero and points above that to have positive altitudes, then the acceleration caused by gravity points in the negative direction. ... Gravity still acts in the downward direction. And the upward force from the floor is equal and opposite to your weight.
Question
Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.
Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?
A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.
B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.
C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
Answer:
The right answer is C)
Explanation:
In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.
So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".
Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.
Cheers!
