The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

particles directed at the foil
(1) passed through the foil
(2) remained trapped in the foil
(3) were deflected by the nuclei in gold atoms
(4) were deflected by the electrons in gold atoms

Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1

The gold foil experiment was conducted by Rutherford. This experiment was conducted to study the Atom.

In the experiment Alpha rays from the emitter are passed through gold foil and there was a receiver that was present there to intercept the alpha rays.

The outcome of the result was that most of the alpha particle pass through foil undeflected and very few rays revert back on the original path from the heavy mass present at the center.

Later this heavy mass was known Nucleus.

Hence, most alpha particles passed through the foil.

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

Jackson throws a football 30 meters at a speed of 15 m/s. How long was the football in the air before Laurence caught it for tou
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 30m

Speed  = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{disance }{time}  

 Time taken  = \frac{distance }{speed }   = \frac{30}{15}  = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

A person hits a 45-g golf ball. The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 10 m          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg

The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces  straight up with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s.

We need to find the height the ball will rise  after the bounce. It is based on the conservation of energy such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

h is maximum height raised by the ball

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(14)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=10\ m

So, the ball will raised to a height of 10 meters.

7. A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent
Rudiy27

Answer:

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Object distance u = 12 cm

a) Focal length = 20 cm

b) Focal length = 16 cm

Computation:

a. 1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/20 + 1/12

v = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

b.  1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/16 + 1/12

v = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)
