Answer:

0.00016 kg

Explanation:  

Given:

Power = P = 1.2 × 10⁹ Watts

Power =  work done / Time

efficiency = 0.30

Input power = 1.2 × 10⁹ / 0.30 =  4  × 10⁹ W

Energy =  4  × 10⁹ x 60 x 60 = 1.44 x 10¹³ joules

E = m c² , where c is the speed of light and m is the mass.

⇒ mass = m = E / c²  = (1.44 x 10¹³) / (3 × 10⁸ )²

                                   = 0.00016 kg

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is

8.00 x 10-13J

Explanation:

In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).

Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)

Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.

That is,

1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r

Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter

How many (whole number of) 87 kg people
choli [55]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

1. You are going to be rounding down.

2. change the metric ton to kg.

1.000 * 10^3 kg = 1000 kg

1000 / 87 = 11.49 = 11 people

Of all the planets, which is the most different from the others? Explain.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: VENUS

Explanation:

Venus tiene una lenta rotación retrógrada, lo que significa que gira de este a oeste, en lugar de hacerlo de oeste a este como lo hacen la mayoría de los demás planetas mayores (Urano también tiene una rotación retrógrada, aunque el eje de rotación de Urano, inclinado 97.86°, prácticamente descansa sobre el plano.

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".
