Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint

of the distance is marked to make it easier to see how the locations compare. Assume the spaceship has the same mass throughout the trip (that is, it is not burning any fuel). Rank the five positions of the spaceship from left to right based on the strength of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the spaceship, from strongest to weakest.

Answer:

F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3

Where F_i represent the force for each of the 5 cases i -1,2,3,4,5 presented on the figure attached.

Explanation:

For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem

We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.

Th formula is given by:

F = G \frac{m_{Earth} m_{Spaceship}}{r^2}

Where G is a constant G = 6.674 x10^{-11} m^2/ (ks s^2)

m_{Earth} represent the mass for the earth

m_{spaceship} represent the mass for the spaceship

r represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship

For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.

Based on this case we can create the following rank:

F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3

Where F_i represent the force for each of the 5 cases i -1,2,3,4,5 presented on the figure attached.

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

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!

A shot-putter released the shot at an angle of 41.5 degrees and a height of 1.9 m with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s. How far
liq [111]

Answer:

x = 17.88[m]

Explanation:

We can find the components of the initial velocity:

(v_{x})_{o}  = 13.3*cos(41.5)=9.96[m/s]\\(v_{y})_{o}  = 13.3*sin(41.5)=8.81[m/s]

We have to remember that the acceleration of gravity will be worked with negative sign, since it acts in the opposite direction to the movement in direction and the projectile upwards.

g = - 9.81[m/s^2]

Now we must find the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground, as the problem mentions that it does not impact on the board.

y=y_{o} +(v_{y} )_{o} *t-0.5*g*(t)^{2} \\0=1.9+(8.81*t)-(4.905*t^{2})\\-1.9=8.81*t*(1-0.5567*t)\\t=0\\t=1.796[s]

With this time we can calculate the horizontal distance:

x=(v_{x})_{o} *t\\x=9.96*1.796\\x=17.88[m]
