How do the results of the rutherford experiment suggest that the nucleus is positively charged?

1 answer:

8 0

Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, so they are positively charged. In Rutherford's experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. However, occasionally the alpha particles were deflected in their paths, and rarely the alpha particles were deflected backward at a 180 degree angle. Since like charges repel, Rutherford concluded that the cause of the deflections of the positively charged alpha particles had to be something within the atom that was also positively charged.

Electricity costs 10p per unit. How much will it cost Sam to use a 85W laptop and a 60W lamp for an hour?

Goryan [66]

The standard unit is KW/hr, = 1,000W/hr.
(85 + 60) = 145W.
You need to find its fraction of 1,000W., so (145/1000) = 0.145 KWH.
(0.145 x 10p) = 1.45p. per hr.

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. $x=x_{0}+vt$

2. $x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}$

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\ 16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}$

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0$

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at $t=0$ and:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\ 0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s$

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at $t=0 s$ (when the SUV passed the police car) and $t=15.56s$ (when the police car catches up to the SUV)
