Why must indirect evidence be used to study the structure of atoms?

Indirect evidence must be used to study the structure of atoms, because the direct evidence affects the position and energy of the particles of the atomic structure.

For example, imagine you use a light ray to find the location of an electron in an atomic structure, the current location of the electron you are now seeing is as a result of the light ray, and the electron has changed it's initial position to a new position as a result of the effect of the light ray.

So indirect means would probably give more accurate answers about the atomic structure than that of the direct means.

An example of the indirect means would be for example setting up a mathematical equation or model of the atomic structure and trying to provide solution for the model or equation.

A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?

avanturin [10]

Answer: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

Explanation: Given force, F=500N

acceleration, a=20 m/ $s^{2}$

From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

F=ma where m=mass of the object

⇒500=m×20

⇒m=500/20=25

∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .

Do quasars reside within or without side of galaxies?

sveticcg [70]

They almost entirely reside within galaxies because quasars are a subset of blackholes with a large and fast enough accretion disk to generate a beam of interstellar material perpendicular to itself. This typically only occurs in the largest black holes at the center of galaxies (supermassive blackholes) or at least stellar black holes---which still occur within galaxies because the material is necessary to form them.
