This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are call

ed "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

Some of the heavy particles bounced off the foil, because there are positive particles spread throughout the atom

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>It is deflecting towards point X because it is hitting the proton or neutron</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The experiment shows the model of Rutherford atomic model and he concluded that every atom contains a nucleus where all of its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated. So when the ray passes straight it meant that most of the place inside atom is empty but when it directly hits the neucleus it would come back at 180 degrees and when it passes with neucleus it bends away with the angle of 90 degrees.

Ratling [72]

The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.

The torque exert by the kids is calculated as

T= 45.6*9.8*1.28*cos27.5°+36*9.8*(2.25-1.28)cos27.5°

T=1382 N-m

Hence, The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 4000 rpm. Testtubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because ofthe
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A)  a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s², B) a = 4.43 10³ m / s²

Explanation:

Part A) The relation of the test tube is centripetal

               a_c = v² / r

the angular and linear variables are related

              v = w r

we substitute

               a_c = w² r

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 4000 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s) = 418.88 rad / s

               r = 1 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.10 m

let's calculate

              a_c = 418.88² 0.1

               a_c = 1.75 10⁴ m / s²

part B) for this part let's use kinematics relations, let's start looking for the velocity just when we hit the floor

as part of rest the initial velocity is zero and on the floor the height is zero

                v² = v₀² - 2g (y- y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2 9.8 (0 + 1)

                v =√19.6

                v = -4.427 m / s

now let's look for the applied steel to stop the test tube

                v_f = v + a t

                0 = v + at

                a = -v / t

                a = 4.427 / 0.001

                a = 4.43 10³ m / s²

A spaceship is traveling at 24,000 m/sec. At T=5 sec, the rocket trusts are turned on. At T=55 sec, the spaceship reaches a spee
slava [35]

Answer:

<em>480m/s²</em>

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time;

Acceleration = change in velocity/change in time

change in velocity = 29,500 - 24,000

change in velocity= 5,500

Change in time = 55 - 5

change in time = 50secs

Substitute into the formula;

spaceships acceleration = 24000/50

spaceships acceleration = 480 m/s²

<em>Hence the spaceships acceleration is 480m/s²</em>

Yellow light of wavelength 590 nm passes through a diffraction grating and makes an interference pattern on a screen 80 cm away.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light \lambda =590\ nm

Screen distance L=80\ cm

First fringe is at a distance y_1=1.9\ cm

No of lines per mm is given by N

N=\frac{1}{d}

where d=slit width

From N-slits Experiment

\sin \theta _m=\frac{m\lambda }{d}

d=\frac{m\lambda }{\sin \theta _m}-----1

Position of bright fringe is given by

y=\tan \theta _m\cdot L

\tan \theta _m=\frac{y}{L}

\theta _m=\tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{L})

Put the value of \theta _m  in eq. 1

d=\frac{m\lambda }{\sin (\tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{L}))}

Therefore N=d^{-1}

N=\frac{\sin (\tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{L}))}{m\lambda }

for m=1

N=\frac{\sin (\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.9\times 10^{-2}}{0.8}))}{1\times 590\times 10^{-9}}

N=40243\ line/m

N=40\ line/mm

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

\Delta U = q\Delta V

where

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

For a proton,

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And since \Delta V=100 V

The energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

For an alpha particle,

q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

Therefore, the energy gained is

\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J
