Although Rutherford is credited with the famous gold foil scattering experiment, he didn’t actually conduct this experiment hims

elf. It was done by two of his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. Do you think it was fair to name the experiment after Rutherford while ignoring the other two scientists? Why or why not? Give credible arguments for your answer

Although he did not do the experiment himself, he had come up with the idea of what to do and how to do it. I think that only Rutherford receiving credit is okay as the assistants did not do anything to contribute to the actual idea of the experiment.
For example, we credit the invention of the iPhone to Steve Jobs, the engineers of Apple, the designers, etc. - those with actual contributions to the invention and the ideas and not the Chinese factory workers - those who construct the iPhone itself.

What is the force in the stretched rope that is attached to a bucket being pulled out of a well?​
bezimeni [28]
The force of gravity acts upon all objects; the Earth and the object attract. There are no springs touching the object; thus, there is no spring force. A taut rope is attached to the bucket; this is the cause of the tension force.

An 80.0-gram sample of water at 10.0°C absorbs 1680 Joules of heat energy. What is the final temperature of the water? a 50.0°C
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

b)15.0°C

Explanation:

Specific Heat of Water=4.2 J/g°C

This means, that 1 g of Water will take 4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

∴80 g Water will take 80×4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.

80×4.2 J=336 J

Total Energy Provided=1680 J

The temperature increase=\frac{\textrm{Total energy required}}{\textrm{energy required to increase temperature by one degree}}

Temperature increase=\frac{1680}{336}

=5°C

Initial Temperature =10°C

Final Temperature=Initial + Increase in Temperature

=10+5=15°C
