<h2>Answer: J. J. Thomson </h2>

Thomson conducted a series of experiments on cathode ray tubes, which led him to the discovery of electrons.

This is how on April 30th, 1897 Thomson announced the discovery of the electron (although at that time he called it a corpuscle)

This discovery was considered one of the milestones in science of the late nineteenth century, since it allowed to have a new conception of the structure of matter and its interaction with energy.

It should be noted that from this discovery, Thomson proposed a new model of the atom that although erroneous, remained valid for years and served as the basis for new postulates and research on the subject.

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm

____ [38]

Answer:

53.13 °

Explanation:

In order to do this, we just need to apply the following:

tanα = Dy/Dx

Where:

Vy: speed of the ball in the y axis.

Vx: speed of the ball in the x axis.

At this point we do not need the speed of the first ball after the collision because in that moment is already heading in the direction that we are looking for. Therefore, we just need to use the innitial data to calculate the direction which the first ball will go.

According to this, then:

tanα = (40/30)

tanα = 1.3333

α = tan⁻¹(1.3333)

This means that the final direction of the first ball is 53.13° and in the x axis because the starting momentum of this ball in the x axis has not dissapeared.

Hope this helps

Guys please help me

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1) $t=2.26\: s$

2) $S=33.9\: m$

3) $v=26.77\: m/s$

4) $\alpha=55.92$

Explanation:

We can use the following equation:

$y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}$

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

$0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}$

$t=2.26\: s$

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

$v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}$

$15=\frac{S}{2.26}$

$S=33.9\: m$

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

$v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt$

$v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)$

$v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s$

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}$

$v=26.77\: m/s$

The angle of this velocity is:

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}$

$\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})$

$\alpha=55.92$

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

I hope it helps you!

At what common temperature will a block of wood and a block of metal both feel neither hot nor cold to the touch ?

Anastaziya [24]

When you touch an object and heat flows OUT of it, INTO your finger, you say the object feels hot.

When you touch an object and heat flows INTO it, OUT of your finger, you say the object feels cold.

If the object has the same temperature as your finger ... <em>around the mid-90s</em> ... then no heat flows in or out of your finger when you touch the object, and the object doesn't feel hot or cold.
