What scientist shot alpha particles into gold

Physics

I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago

The scientist that shot alpha particles into gold was Earnest Rutherford. He discovered about electrons. Then, later, he tried to prove that atoms had neutrons. This was done with his gold foil experiment. When the atoms were shot and hit the nucleus, they bounced back... that is how he found out that the atoms had a nucleus, also where our nuclear structure of an atom comes from...

Hope this helps;)

The Geiger–Marsden experiment(s) (also called the Rutherford gold foil experiment) were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists discovered that every atom contains a nucleus where its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated

What is 0.40 as a fraction?
maxonik [38]
Please remember to post in the right category next time :)

.40 as a fraction is 4/10 or 2/5
the 4 is in the tenths place, so put it over a 10 to make it a fraction.
then, simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, and you get 2/5

the natural radioactivity is done by(controlling the nuclear energy-no ability to control the nuclear energy-both of them)​
just olya [345]

Answer:

Nuclear power plants are fueled by uranium, which emits radioactive substances. Most of these substances are trapped in uranium fuel pellets or in sealed metal fuel rods. However, small amounts of these radioactive substances (mostly gases) become mixed with the water that is used to cool the reactor.

Two ocean liners, each with a mass of 42,000 metric tons, are moving on parallel courses, 93 m apart. What is the magnitude of t
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

0.324×10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

G=Gravitational constant=6.67408×10⁻⁸ m³/kg s

m₁=m₂=Mass of the ships=42000×10³ kg

r=Distance between the ships=93 m

The ships are considered particles

From Newtons Law of Universal Gravitation

F=G\frac {m_1m_2}{r^2}\\Here\ m_1=m_2\ hence\ m_1\times m_2=m_1^2\\\Rightarrow F=G\frac {m_1^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{6.67408\times 10^{-8}\times (42000\times 10^3)^2}{93^2}\\\Rightarrow F=13612.0674\ N\\

F=ma\\\Rightarrow 13612.0674=42000\times 10^3a\\\Rightarrow a=0.324\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2

∴Acceleration of one of the liners toward the other due to their mutual gravitational attraction is 0.324×10⁻³
