Answer:

The distance between them is changing at the speed of 10.16 m/hr

Explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below.

The question is simply asking to calculate the resultant of the two velocities.

To get the angle between them, we simply use the coordinates of the two vectors to determine the angle between them.  

90 + 45 = 135°

from the cosine rule we have

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosθ

c^{2} = 6^{2} +5^{2} - 2 ×6×5×cos 135

c^{2} = 103.426

c = \sqrt{103.426}

c = 10.17 m/hr

Ksju [112]

Answer:

A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

Explanation:

Some of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back which gives information to the scientists that some heavy particles present in the center of the atom which bounce back the positive particles. so from this evidence the scientists says that atom is divisible and having subatomic particles such as proton, electron and neutron. Proton and neutron is present in the center whereas electron is revolving around the nucleus of an atom.
