The findings of Henri Becquerel and the Curies helped to discredit what notion held for a very long time? That matter can never

be created or destroyed. Matter is made up of any smaller parts. Matter is radioactive and decays over time. That matter is indivisible and indestructible.

That matter s indivisible and indestructible.  This is because they discovered that certain elements, thought to be indivisible, can breakdown by radioactive decay and emit smaller, high energy particles and/or photons.

Answer:

That matter is indivisible and indestructible.

Explanation:

Matter is composed of many smaller parts known as atoms. It was earlier thought that atom is the smallest indivisible particle. Henri Becquerel and Curies  discovered radioactivity. Radioactivity is the phenomenon where an unstable atom disintegrates into a stable nuclei and releases energy along with, gamma, beta or alpha particle. With discovery of radioactivity, the notion that matter is indivisible and indestructible, was destroyed.

A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cann
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

∅ = 89.44°

Explanation:

In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/s^{2}

Bring out the given parameters from the question:

Initial Velocity (V_{1}) = 1000 m/s

Target distance (d) = 2000 m

Target height (h) =  800 m

Projection angle ∅ = ?

Horizontal distance = V_{1x}tcos ∅     .......................... Equation 1

where V_{1x} = velocity in the X - direction

           t = Time taken

Vertical Distance = y = V_{1y} t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}        ................... Equation 2

Where   V_{1y} = Velocity in the Y- direction

              t  = Time taken

V_{1y} = V_{1}sin∅

Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1

                    t = d/(V_{1x}cos ∅)

                      t = \frac{2000}{1000coso} = \frac{2}{cos0}  =    \frac{d}{cos o}             ...................Equation 3

substituting equation 3 into equation 2

Vertical Distance = d = V_{1y} \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

                                  Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅   - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Applying geometry

                              \frac{1}{cos o} = tan^{2} o + 1

  Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅   - 2 g (tan^{2} o + 1)

               substituting the given parameters

               800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( tan^{2} o + 1)

              800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( tan^{2} o + 1)  Equation 4

Replacing tan ∅ = Q     .....................Equation 5

In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.

            800 = 2000 Q - 19.6Q^{2} + 19.6

Rearranging 19.6Q^{2} - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0

                    Q_{1} = 101.6291

                      Q_{2} = 0.411

    Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5

                 tan ∅ = 101.63    or tan ∅ = 0.4114

Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q

                  ∅ = 89.44°     ∅ = 22.37°

Tea in a kettle cools slowly but cools faster in cup<br><br>​
skad [1K]

Explanation:

Tea cools faster in a cup than in a kettle because when it is on a cup it is more spread out so the cooler air around it is able to cool down each molecule faster than if it were in a kettle which is cooling down slower because the tea is not a spread out

A surface completely surrounds a 3.3 × 10-6 C charge. Find the electric flux through this surface when the surface is (a) a sphe
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Electric flux in a) , b) and c) is same which is   0.373 × 10 ⁶ N m²/C

Explanation:

given,

surface charge (q) = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ C

to calculate electric flux = ?

a) radius = 0.76 m

area of sphere = 4 π r²

electric flux = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon}

\varepsilon = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} C^2/Nm^2

electric flux =  \dfrac{3.3 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12} }

flux = 0.373 × 10 ⁶ N m²/C

electric flux in the other two cases will also be same as electric flux is independent of area

so, Electric flux in a) , b) and c) is same which is   0.373 × 10 ⁶ N m²/C
