Which law is associated with inertia? *

defon

Newton first law of motion

Explanation:

This law by Newton states that an object will remain at rest, or a moving object will stay in motion in a straight line and with the same speed unless an external and unbalanced force acts on the object.

One application of this Newtonian law is in the launching of projectiles like ballistic missiles. A ballistic missile parabolic path is affected by its inertia and the unbalanced forces acting on the object such as air resistance/ drag and gravity.

After he conducted cathode ray tube experiments proving the existence of negatively charged particles we now call electrons, Tho

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

In 1904, after the discovery of the electron, the English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom. In this model, the atom had a positively-charged space with negatively charged electrons embedded inside it i.e., like a pudding (positively charged space) with plums (electrons) inside.

In 1911, another physicist Ernest Rutherford proposed another model known as the Rutherford model or planetary model of the atom that describes the structure of atoms. In this model, the small and dense atom has a positively charged core called the nucleus. Also, he proposed that just like the planets revolving around the Sun, the negatively charged electrons are moving around the nucleus.

By conducting a gold foil experiment, Rutherford disproved Thomson's model. In this experiment, positively charged alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source enclosed within a protective lead were used which was then focused into a narrow beam. It was then passed through a slit in front of which a thin section of gold foil was placed. A fluorescent screen (coated with zinc sulfide) was also placed in front of the slit to detect alpha particles which on striking the fluorescent screen would produce scintillation (a burst of light) which was visible through a microscope attached to the back of the screen.

He observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any resistance and this implied that atoms contain a large amount of open space. The slight deflection of some of the alpha particles, the large-angle scattering of other alpha particles and even the bouncing back of a very few alpha particles toward the source suggested their interactions with other positively charged particles inside the atom.

So, he concluded that only a dense and positively charged particle such as the nucleus would be responsible for such strong repulsion. Also, the negatively charged electrons electrically balanced the positive nuclear charge and they moved around the nucleus in circular orbits. Between the electrons and nucleus, there was an electrostatic force of attraction just like the gravitational force of attraction between the sun and the revolving planets.

Later, the Rutherford model was replaced by the Bohr atomic model.

Mention 10 products made from crude oil

garri49 [273]

Answer:

"After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery where different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products. These petroleum products include gasoline, distillates such as diesel fuel and heating oil, jet fuel, petrochemical feedstocks, waxes, lubricating oils, and asphalt.

A U.S 42-gallon barrel of crude oil yields about 45 gallons of petroleum products in U.S. refineries because of refinery processing gain. This increase in volume is similar to what happens to popcorn when it is popped."

"What are petroleum products, and what is petroleum used for?

Petroleum products include transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and feedstocks for making the chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials that are in nearly everything we use. Of the approximately 7.21 billion barrels of total U.S. petroleum consumption in 2016, 47% was motor gasoline (includes ethanol), 20% was distillate fuel (heating oil and diesel fuel), and 8% was jet fuel."
