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

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.

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00
ira [324]

Answer:

A. 51.42 m.

B. 17.14 s.

Explanation:

Using equations of motion:

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * aS

Where,

vf = final velocity

a = acceleration

S = distance to which swan traveled

vi = 0 m/s

6.00^2 = 2 * 0.350S

S = 36/0.7

= 51.42 m.

B.

vf = vi + at

6 = 0 + 0.35t

t = 6/0.35

= 17.14 s.
