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.

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.

What are two ways you can increase power by climbing the stairs?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

change the

  • time
  • distance
  • force.

Explanation:

P = W/time

W = F*d

You have control over how fast you go up the stairs.

You also have control over how far up the stairs you go.

Therefore the answer is

  • time
  • distance

If you don't like distance as an answer, you can carry something up the stairs -- anything that increases F will do.

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.
