Answer:

Explanation:

Rutherford devised an experiment where he shot small particles at a sheet of gold foil (1000 atoms thick) and he found that only a <u>small percentage of the particles were deflected</u>, while the <u>majority of the particles passed through the sheet of foil</u>.

He used this observation to conclude that the mass of the atom is concentrated in the center of the atom, and today we know that the majority of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, made of protons and neutrons (electrons have negligible mass).

klio [65]

Answer:

$3.58\:\mathrm{s}$

Explanation:

We can use the kinematics equation $\Delta y=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ to solve this problem. To find the initial vertical velocity, find the vertical component of the object's initial velocity using basic trigonometry for right triangles:

$\sin28^{\circ}=\frac{y}{22},\\y=22\sin28^{\circ}=10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}$

Now we can substitute values in our kinematics equation:

$\Delta y=-100$
$a=-9.8\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ (acceleration due to gravity)
$v_i=-10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}$
Solving for $t$

$-100=-10.3283743813t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot -9.8\cdot t^2,\\\\-4.9t^2-10.3283743813t+100=0,\\\\\boxed{t=3.5849312673637455}, t=-5.692762773751501\:\text{(Extraneous)}$

How does the geosphere interact with the biosphere during a fire?

shutvik [7]

Answer: A forest fire could affect the geosphere by ash and the heat from the fire, but the fire would affect the biosphere by less oxygen in the air and would make it hard for human to breath affecting climate change. Also many homes to wildlife that live in the forest would lose their homes. This would result in lose of money from no hunting and that affect the economy.
