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.

A mass m = 3.9 kg hangs from a massless string wrapped around a uniform cylinder with mass Mp = 10.53 and radius R= 0.96 m. The
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

the rotational inertia of the cylinder = 4.85 kgm²

the mass moved 7.942 m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating Inertia can be expressed as:

I =\frac{1}{2}mR^2

For calculating the rotational inertia of the cylinder ; we have;

I = \frac{1}{2}m_pR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}*10.53*(0.96)^2

I=5.265*(0.96)^2

I=4.852224

I ≅ 4.85 kgm²

mg - T ma and RT = I ∝

T = \frac{Ia}{R^2}

a = \frac{g}{1+\frac{I}{mR^2}}

a = \frac{9.8}{1+\frac{4.85}{3.9*(0.96)^2}}

a = 4.1713 m/s²

Using the equation of motion

v^2 = u^2+2as \\ \\ v^2 = 2as \\ \\ v = \sqrt{2*a*s} \\ \\ v= \sqrt{2*4.1713*7.56} \\ \\ v = 7.942 \ m/s

scoundrel [369]

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

Bezzdna [24]

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
