Compare and contrast rutherford's "planetary model" of the atom with our current understanding of an atom's internal structure.

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Rutherford felt that the atom had an internal structure much like our solar system, with a nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Today, we know that the electrons inhabit specific shells and sub-shells, and there is an order to which these electrons are located.</span>

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

= 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t

v = u+at

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ = 1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

there are two types of waves: electromagnetic and mechanical. can either type travel regardless of the presence of a medium?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.

Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.

Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.

These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.

Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.

On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.

An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

I don’t understand how to do this

anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz
