The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons. This model was known as the 'plum pudding' model.

This theory was then disproved by Ernest Rutherford and the gold foil experiment in 1911, where Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil, and noticed that some went through and some bounced back, implying the existence of a positive nucleus.

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where the electrons were contained within quantized shells that orbited the nucleus. This was because it was impossible for the cloud of negative electrons proposed by Rutherford to exist, as the negative electrons would be drawn to the positive nucleus, and the atom would collapse in on itself.

In 1926, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created a quantum mechanical model of the atom by combining the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.

However the model used today is closest to the Bohr model of the atom, using the quantized shells to contain the electrons.

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by
kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

                  Momentum  =  mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

    Mass  = 1kg

     Velocity  = 5m/s

    Momentum of C = 1 x 5  = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

      Mass  = 100kg

      Velocity  = 5m/s

     Momentum of D  = 100kg x 5m/s  = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.

If someone throws a 3 gram fry accelerating at 5 meter/second2, what is the fry’s force?
Alex

Answer:

0.015 m/s2

Explanation:

Using Newtons 2nd law.

F = ma where F = Force applied, m = mass of the object and a = acceleration acquired.

So substitute the values in SI units.

m = \frac{3}{1000} kg

Therefore F = 0.003×5 = 0.015 m/s2
