What is atomic theory and how has it changed over time?

2 answers:

6 0

In chemistry and physics, the atomic theory explains how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Atoms were once thought to be the smallest pieces of matter. The first idea of the atom came from the Greek philosopher Democritus. Hope I helped!!

Atomic theory is a scientific theory of the nature of matter. The atomic theory has changed over time as new technologies have become available. Scientific knowledge builds on past research and experimentation. Democritus, a philosopher in ancient Greece, began the search for a description of matter. ... He believed that the smallest possible piece of matter was indivisible.

Example sentence for gravitational potential energy

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.

Two parallel plates 19 cm on a side are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 ✕ 10^−9 C. The plates are 1.8 mm apart

Romashka [77]

Answer:

E = 5291.00 N/C

Explanation:

Expression for capacitance is

$C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}$

where

A is area of square plate

D = DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLATE

$C = \frac{\epsilon\times(19\times 10^{-2})^2}{1.5\times 10^{-3}}$

$C = 24.06 \epsilon$

$C = 24.06\times 8.854\times 10^{-12} F$

$C =2.1\times 10^{-10} F$

We know that capacitrnce and charge is related as

$V = \frac{Q}{C}$

$= \frac{2\tiimes 10^{-9}}{2.\times 10^{-10}}$

v = 9.523 V

Electric field is given as

$E = \frac{V}{d}$

= $\frac{9.52}{1.8*10^{-3}}$

E = 5291.00 V/m

E = 5291.00 N/C

A firefighter with a weight of 756 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.96 m/s2, directed downward. What are

Katen [24]

Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

BRAINLYIST ASAPPP write and claim evidence and reasoning statement that explains why mercury and Venus do not have any moons

umka2103 [35]

answer:They are too close to the sun!

Explanation:Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.Same with Venus!

A 100 N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the object?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 100 N

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

To find : Mass ( m ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

m = F / a

= 100 / 2

m = 50 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 50 kg.
