The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

Which one of the following statements accurately describes a characteristic of adolescence?

Yuliya22 [10]

Hi!

Answer D would be the best option.

During the period of adolescence, which is generally between 13-19, the individual goes through a transitional period which is characterized by changes in emotional, physical and mental capacities.

These changes consequently result in the adolescents' desire to be more independent, and to govern their lives as how they deem more fitting, which results in the rebellious nature in the individual.

The other options include characteristics that MAY be seen in individuals, but is not a defining characteristic of adolescence and is not very common.

Hope this helps.

What is happening to the velocity of an object if it has a negative acceleration?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D,<u> the object is moving in the negative direction</u> (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.</h3>

Explanation:

So it would be decreasing if its moving towards the negative!

At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the

krok68 [10]

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km
