If a train travels 50 kilometers in 4 hours, and then 74 kilometers in 2 hours its average speed is 24.75 km / hr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed is related to the ratio of distance and time. Speed = Distance / time.

Speed of the first train = 50 / 4 = 12.5 km / hr

Speed of the second train = 74 / 2 = 3 7 km / hr

Average speed = (12.5 + 3 7 ) / 2 = 24.75 km / hr

So the average speed of the train is 24.75 km / hr.

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is

8.00 x 10-13J

Explanation:

In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).

Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)

Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.

That is,

1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r

Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter

The interference pattern seen when light passes through narrow, closely spaced slits, is due to
Lelu [443]
<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction  is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense,  <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d
AlladinOne [14]
The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
\Delta t is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and \Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s, so the average current during the event is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A
