<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.

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is

Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when he dives into the water body, As he ascends out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following Boyle's Law. Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly to the surface or else the expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

a student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a

kozerog [31]

Given:

$Force, f = 12 \frac{kg-m}{sec^{2} }$

$Mass, m = 7 kg$

$Acceleration, a_{1} = 3\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

$a = a_{1}+\frac{f}{m}$

$Substitute\;the\;values\;of\;f,\;m\;and\;a_{1}\;in\;the\;above\;equation,$

$a = 3+\frac{12}{7}$

$a = 3 + 1.714$

Therefore, the acceleration is,

$a = 4.714\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

<h3>Explain Acceleration?</h3>

An object's rate of changing its velocity is known as its acceleration, which is a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating. When anything moves faster or slower in a straight line, it is said to have been accelerated. Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting.
