The acceleration due to gravity is g at the earth's surface. an earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the earth's surfa

ce equal to one earth radius. at this location, what is the acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!

In the manufacturing of computer chips, cylinders of silicon are cut into thin wafers that are 3.00 in. in diameter and have a m
Shalnov [3]

Answer: thickness h = 0.014cm

Question: In the manufacturing of computer chips, cylinders of silicon are cut into thin wafers that are 3.30 inches in diameter and have a mass of 1.50 g of silicon. How thick (mm) is each wafer if silicon has a density of 2.33 g/cm 3 ? (The volume of a cylinder is V=πr 2 h )

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is

Volume V = πr^2h ....1

The density of a material is

Density D = mass m / volume V

D = m/V ....2

Since m and D are given, we can make V the subject of formula.

V = m/D ....3

From equation 1, we need to derive the thickness h of the cylindrical silicon.

h = V/πr^2 .....4

Substituting equation 3 into 4

h = (m/D)/πr^2 .....5

Given.

mass m = 1.50g

density D = 2.33g/cm^3

radius r = diameter/2 = 3.00in/2 = 7.62/2 cm = 3.81cm

Substituting the given values into the equation

h = (1.5/2.33)/(π ×3.81^2)

thickness h = 0.014cm
