In his famous experiment, Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin gold film. Most of the alpha particles went through the fir

m and a very few bounced back. Suppose instead that about one-half the alpha particles bounced back and one-half went through. How would this have changed his conclusion about the structure of the atom?
1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom.
2. The atom has no nucleus.
3. None of these
4. The nucleus covers the entire atom.
5. The atom is mostly empty space.

Answer:

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

Explanation:

Alpha particles are positive charge particles and they are bounced back by the nucleus because nucleus is also same size

Now in present experiment Rutherford found that very few alpha particles are bounced back along same path which shows that very small region inside the nucleus is having positive charge and rest part of the atom is empty.

Now if we found that half of the alpha particles are bounced back then it shows that size of the nucleus is very large now as compare to previous one because only nucleus can bounce back the alpha particles

so correct answer will be

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

A 1 kg particle moves upward from the origin to (23) m. Wit is work done by the force of gravity which is in - y direction s B.
sveta [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

Position (2, 3 ) m

height, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Here, no force is acting in horizontal direction, the force of gravity is acting in vertical direction, so the work done by the gravitational force is to be calculated.

Force  mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Work = force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the value of Ф is 180° as the force acting vertically downward and the displacement is upward

So, W = 9.8 x 2 x Cos 180°

W = - 19.6 J

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Suppose your salary in 2012 is $70,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 7%, what salary do you need to earn in 2020 in orde
s2008m [1.1K]

Annual salary(2012) = $70,000

Annual inflation = 7%

Therefore, the salary you need to earn in 2020 in order to have the same purchasing power can be calculated below

2020-2012=8\text{ years}FV=PV\times(1+r)^n

where

n = 8

r = 7/100 = 0.07

PV = 70, 000

\begin{gathered} FV=70,000(1+0.07)^8 \\ FV=70000(1.07)^8 \\ FV\text{ = 70000}\times1.71818617983 \\ FV=120273.032588 \\ FV=\text{  \$}120,273.03 \end{gathered}

The salary you need to earn in 2020 to have the same purchasing power = $120, 273.03
