The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$

Bohr’s atomic model differed from Rutherford's because it explained that electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding

insens350 [35]

Answer:

electrons exist in specified energy levels

Explanation:

In its gold-foil scattering with alpha particles, Rutherford proved that the plum-pudding model of the atom theorised by Thomson was wrong.

From his experiment, Rutherford inferred that the atom actually consists of a very small nucleus, where all the positive charge is concentrated, and the rest of the atom is basically empty, with the electrons (negatively charged) orbiting around the nucleus at very large distance.

However, Rutherford did not specify anything about the orbits of the electrons. Later, Bohr predicted that the electrons actually orbit the nucleus in specific orbits, each orbit corresponding to a specific energy level. Bohr's model found confirmation in the observation of the emission spectrum lines: when an electron in one of the higher energy level jumps down into an orbit with lower energy, the atom emits a photon which has an energy exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two orbits (and this energy of the photon corresponds to a precise wavelength).

Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. A. Calculate the density, in g/mL , of a liqu

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes. This is where density $D$ appears as a physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass $m$ of a body or substance and the volume $V$ it occupies:

$D=\frac{m}{V}$ (1)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>Answer A:</h2>

Here the mass is $m=0.155g$ and th volume $V=0.000235L=0.235mL$

Solving (1) with these values:

$D=\frac{0.155g}{0.235mL}$ (2)

$D=0.660g/mL$ (3)

<h2>Answer B:</h2>

In this case the mass of a sample is $m=4.71g$ and its density is $D=3.63g/mL$ .

Isolating $V$ from (1):

$V=\frac{m}{D}$ (4)

$V=\frac{4.71g}{3.63g/mL}$ (5)

$V=1.297mL$ (5)

<h2>Answer C:</h2>

In this case the volume of a sample is $V=0.293mL$ and its density is $D=0.930g/mL$ .

Isolating $m$ from (1):

$m=D.V$ (6)

$m=(0.930g/mL)(0.293mL)$ (7)

$m=0.272g$ (8)
