<h2>Answer: The "raising pudding" atomic model</h2>

Explanation:

During the 19th century the accepted atomic model, was Dalton's atomic model, which postulated the atom was an "individible and indestructible mass".

However, at the end of 19th century J.J. Thomson began experimenting with cathode ray tubes and found out that atoms contain small subatomic particles with a negative charge (later called electrons). This meant the atom was not indivisible as Dalton proposed. So, Thomson developed a new atomic model.

Taking into consideration that at that time there was still no evidence of the atom nucleus, Thomson thought the electrons (with negative charge) were immersed in the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons. Just like the raisins embedded in a pudding or bread.

That is why this model was called the raisin pudding atomic model.

In the sum →A+→B=→C, vector →A has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled 40.0° counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation: Ok, first caracterize the two vectors that we know.

A = ax + ay = (12*cos(40°)*i + 12*sin(40°)*j) m

now, see that C is angled 20° from -x, -x is angled 180° counterclockwise from +x, so C is angled 200° counterclockwise from +x

C = cx + cy = (15*cos(200°)*i + 15*sin(200°)*j) m

where i and j refers to the versors associated to te x axis and the y axis respectively.

in a sum of vectors, we must decompose in components, so: ax + bx = cx and ay + by = cy. From this two equations we can obtain B.

bx= (15*cos(200°) - 12*cos(40°)) m = -23.288 m

by = (15*sin(200°) - 12*sin(40°)) m = -12.843 m

Now with te value of both components of B, we proceed to see his magnitude an angle relative to +x.

Lets call a to the angle between -x and B, from trigonometry we know that tg(a) = by/bx, that means a = arctg(12.843/23.288) = 28.8°

So the total angle will be 180° + 28.8° = 208.8°.

For the magnitude of B, lets call it B', we can use the angle that we just obtained.

bx = B'*cos(208.8°) so B' = (-23.288 m)/cos(208.8°) = 26.58 m.

So the magnitude of B is 26.58 m.

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60 kg60 kg, experimenta

netineya [11]

Answer:

the maximum height a man can jump from and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs is 0.34 m

Explanation:

Mass of a healthy man = 60 kg

energy the bone can take without breaking = 200 J

If a healthy man jumps from a height 'h', he falls with an energy equal to the potential energy due to his initial height above the ground.

initial potential energy of the healthy man = mgh

where m = mass of the man

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = the height above ground

==> PE = 60 x 9.81 x h = 588.6h

If we assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing, then we can safely say that this calculated PE for a healthy man is equal to the energy his bone can absorb in the jump without breaking.

equating, we have

200 = 588.6h

the maximum height a man can jump from without breaking his legs = 200/588.6 = 0.34 m

When people jump from a height, the sudden deceleration to zero can impact a big force on the leg bones, shattering them. If the time spent in decelerating to zero is increased, the overall force on the leg bones is reduced greatly.

Bending the knees gradually on landing from a jump from a height, and then rolling increases the time spent decelerating, and reduces the impact force on the legs due to the landing. If you observe carefully you will see that this is what professional stunts men and acrobats do when they jump from a height.

iris [78.8K]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.
