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.

Which of the following scenarios would be optimal for obtaining a date from radioactive decay using these isotopes: 87Rb, 147Sm,

REY [17]

Answer:

a) 238U, 40K and 87Rb, b) 235U and to a lesser extent 40K , c) he 235U,

d) possibility is 14C , e)this period would be ideal for 14C , f) 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful

Explanation:

One of the applications of radioactive decay is the dating of different systems.

To do this, the quantity of radioactive material in a meter is determined and with the average life time, the time of the sample is found.

Let's write the half-life times of the given materials

87Rb T ½ = 4.75 1010 years

147Sm T ½ = 1.06 1011 years

235U = 7,038 108 years

238U = 4.47 109 years

40K = 1,248 109 years

14C = 5,568 103 years

we already have the half-life of the different elements given

a) meteors. As these decomposed in the formation of the solar system, their life time is around 3 109 to 5 109 years, so it is necessary to look for elements that have a life time of this order, among the candidates we have 238U, 40K and 87Rb if these elements were at the moment of the formation of these meteors, there must still be rations in them, instead elements 14C already completely adequate

b) rock. The formation period is 4.20-108 years, therefore one of the most promising elements is 235U and to a lesser extent 40K since it is more abundant in rocks. The other elements with higher life times have not decayed and therefore will not give a true value and the 14C is completely decayed

c) volcanic ash. Formation time 6107 years, the only element that has the possibility of having a count is the 235U, the others have a life time so long that they have not decayed and the 14C is complete, unbent

d) scarp of an earthquake formation time 5 101 years, The only one that has any possibility is 14C even when it has declined very little, all the others, you have time to long that has not decayed

e) INCA excavation. The time of this civilization is about 10000 to 500 years (104 to 5 102 years), we see that this period would be ideal for 14C since it has some period of cementation, the others have not decayed

f) Tree in Blepharitis. 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful because of a period of disintegration. We have such a long time that they have not decayed

The maximum distance at which a highway sign can be read is determined for a sample of young people and a sample of older people

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The population mean are the same

Explanation:

Answer:

The population means are the same.

Explanation:

The hypotheses for a difference in two population means are similar to those for a difference difference two population proportions.

At null point, Ha=0

Let the mean population of the young one be u1

Let the mean population of the old one be u2.

Then, the difference between their mean population distance is given as

Ha=u2-u1

Since, Ha is null point, Ha=0

0=u2-u1

u2=u1

This shows that the mean population distance of the old is equal to the mean population distance of the young.

Therefore their mean population distance is the same

Since it is null alternative then, the population mean are the same.

We must sample the population using

1. Samples must be random to remove or minimize bias.

2. Sample must be representative of the populations in question.

A square current-carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field B with the plane of the loop parallel to the magnetic field

Radda [10]

Answer:

(A) a net torque but no net force on the loop.

Explanation:

The total force on the loop is zero because the forces on the opposite sides of the loop are equal but act in opposite directions and as a result they cancel each other out. The two forces on opposite sides to the axis of rotation each give rise to a torque about the axis of rotation. This torque is directed along the axis of rotation.

An object has a height of 0.066 m and is held 0.210 m in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 0.140 m. (Include the

Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of object, h = 0.066 m

Object distance from the lens, u = 0.210 m (negative)

Focal length of the converging lens, f = 0.14 m

If v is the image distance from the lens, we can find it using lens formula as follows :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{0.14 }+\dfrac{1}{(-0.21)}\\\\v=0.42\ m$
