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 <em>α</em> 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.

Cheers!

Find the interest. A 105-day note for $14,200 at 8.5% interest.
mr Goodwill [35]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

$347.22

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Principal = $14,200

Rate = 8.5%

Time = 105 days = 105/365

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Interest = 14,200 x 0.085 x 105/365

Interest = 347.219

             = $347.22

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

You will be colliding two carts in this lab. Select all the systems for which you predict the total momentum of the system will
baherus [9]

From the momentum conservation we know that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. The momentum in a singular way can be defined as the product between the mass and the velocity of an object. In the presented system, however, there are two objects, therefore the mass of both and the speed of both, before and after the collision must be taken into account. Mathematically we could describe this as

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of each object

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2} = Final velocity of each object

From here we can realize that it is necessary to use the system on both cars to be able to predict what will happen either with their masses, or their speeds.

The correct answer is C.
