Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

Answer:

The right answer is C)

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles α were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

If the voltage impressed across a circuit is held constant while the resistance doubles, what change occurs in the current?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The current halves

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, current and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

We can rewrite the formula as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

we see that I is directly proportional to V and inversely proportional to R. In this problem, V is held constant while R is doubled:

$R'=2R$

so, the new current in the circuit will be

$I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}I$

So, the current halves.

Suppose you take a 50gram ice cube from the freezer at an initial temperature of -20°C. How much energy would it take to complet

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The amount of energy required is $152.68\times 10^{3}Joules$

Explanation:

The energy required to convert the ice to steam is the sum of:

1) Energy required to raise the temperature of the ice from -20 to 0 degree Celsius.

2) Latent heat required to convert the ice into water.

3) Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 degrees to 100 degrees

4) Latent heat required to convert the water at 100 degrees to steam.

The amount of energy required in each process is as under

1) $Q_1=mass\times S.heat_{ice}\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 2.05\times 20=2050Joules$

where

$'S.heat_{ice}$ ' is specific heat of ice = $2.05J/^{o}C\cdot gm$

2) Amount of heat required in phase 2 equals

$Q_2=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{2}=334\times 50=16700Joules$

3) The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 100 degrees centigrade equals

$Q_3=mass\times S.heat\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 4.186\times 100=20930Joules$

where

$'S.heat_{water}$ ' is specific heat of water= $4.186J/^{o}C\cdot gm$

4) Amount of heat required in phase 4 equals

$Q_4=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{4}=2260\times 50=113000Joules\\\\$ $\\\\\\\\$ Thus the total heat required equals $Q=Q_{1}+Q_{2}+Q_{3}+Q_{4}\\\\Q=152.68\times 10^{3}Joules$
