In a solid state, the molecules have the least amount of energy. They just stick close together and vibrate in place. As the molecules gain more energy, they are able to move around more freely. In the liquid state, the molecules have enough energy to sort of tumble over each other.
Answer:
A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.
Answer: Wheel and Axle
Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.
If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.
Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.
