In the famous gold foil experiment, radioactive particles were fired at a very thin sheet of gold foil. Most of the particles pa

ssed straight through the gold foil. Only about 1 in every 8000 particles were deflected. The gold foil experiment showed the researchers that the atom is made mostly of

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The gold foil experiment is the experiment given by Rutherford.

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded alpha-particles on it. He thought that the alpha particles would pass through because there is a lot of empty space in an atom. But to his surprise, most of the particles passed straight through, few deflected their path and very few returned back straight.

He concluded that an atom consist of a very little charged location which carries the charge same as that of the alpha particle (positive charge). He named that part as nucleus of the atom. Many particles passed straight through the atom, he concluded that an atom consists of a lot of empty spaces.

Hence, the correct statement is Option d.

Answer:

v = 19.6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the circle, r = 5 m

The time period of the ball, T = 1.6s

We need to find the ball's tangential velocity.

The formula for the tangential velocity is given by :

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

Putting all the values in the above formula

v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 5}{1.6}\\\\v=19.6\ m/s

So, the tangential velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

What measures air pressure.?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
That depends on what type of pressure you are attempting to measure, to measure Atmospheric pressure, you would use a Barometer. To measure things like tires, you could use a Tire Pressure Gauge. For Industrial processes and boilers, you would use a Manometer. For pressure vessels, you would use a Bordon Gauge.   <span />
