Answer:

Generally, these models have shed more light on the field of atom by describing the composition of atoms and how the atom functions . The competition of these models have been able to modify atomic model to it actual description, modification and functionality.      

Explanation:

There have been different models of atoms overtime . The competition between the various models of atom have been able to shed more light on atom and create more theory on the subject of atoms. The well known models of atom are Dalton's atomic model, Thomson's model of the atom , Ernest Rutherford model of atom, Niels Bohr's model and Schrödinger's model of atoms.

Dalton stated that atoms are indivisible and he was able to realize atom of a particular element different from others . That means atoms of the same element are identical. J.J Thompson was able to recognized electrons in atoms  he drew a plum pudding model  of an atom. It shows electron revolves around a positive charge through out a spherical cloud. Rutherford was able to detect positive charge of an atom found in the nucleus of an atom. Bohr's model modified Rutherford's model . He was able to recognized that the electron move or orbit around the nucleus. Schrödinger's  believes electrons moves around the nucleus in cloud and has an uncertain position.

Generally, these models have shed more light on the field of atom by describing the composition of atoms and how the atom functions . The competition of these models have been able to modify atomic model to it actual description, modification and functionality.

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force
timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.

Discuss how friction is reduced in oce skating
belka [17]

Answer:

below

Explanation:

Ice melts, meaning it has a watery layer upon its surface. This allows things to be moving like they are on a liquid but it has the solidity of a solid. The thin metal of the ice skates also decrease the surface area meaning it exerts more force but in turn, it allows you to move faster and further reduces friction.
