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.

Bill and amy want to ride their bikes to school which is 14.4 kilometers away. It takes Amy 49 minutes to get to school and bill

Drupady [299]

3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance }{total time taken}$

convert units to meters and seconds

1000m = 1km

60s = 1min

Distance to school = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = $\frac{14400}{2940}$ = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = $\frac{4140}{2940}$ = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

An electron in a TV picture tube is accelerated through a potential difference of 10 kV before it hits the screen. What is the k

laiz [17]

Answer:

10,000 eV

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its change in electric potential energy:

$K=\Delta U=q \Delta V$

where:

K is the kinetic energy of the electron

$q=1 e$ is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference through which the electron has been accelerated

For this electron in the TV, we have

$\Delta V=10 kV=10000 V$

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the electron in electronvolts is

$K=(1 e)(10000 V)=10000 eV$

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub

aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse ( $F \times t$ ). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,
