Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.

The sales price of a product is $2 per unit; the variable cost is $1 per unit; and fixed costs total $1,000. how many units must
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>1000 units for breakeven</em></u>

Explanation:

Let x be the number of units sold at breakeven.

The total sales at the point would be $2x.

Variable costs would be $1x and fixed costs are $1000.

Total costs are = $1x + $1000

At breakeven: Sales = Costs

Sales =m Costs

$2x = $1x + $1000

$1x = $1000

x = 1000 units.

At 1000 units the sales are equal to the costs ("breakeven").

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the
Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P =  1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N
