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:
(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.

Answer:
The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.
Explanation:
The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)
So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.
As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:
Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:
Σ=0
We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.
so the sum will be:
when solving for N we get that:
N=W
where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:
N=250kg*9.8m/s²
N=2450N
Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:
μ
where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.
So we get that the kinetic friction is:
so
With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:
Σ=ma
In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.
so the sum of forces look like this:
750N-=ma
so
750N-294N=(250kg)a
when solving for a we get:
so the crate's acceleration is 1.82m/s².
