Why did thomson’s results from experimenting with cathode rays cause a big change in scientific thought about atoms?

Answer:

Explanation:

Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.

Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.

The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.

Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.

The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.

A factory worker pushes a 32.0 kg crate a distance of 7.0 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) 81.54 N

(b) 570.75 J

(c) - 570.75 J

(d) 0 J, 0 J

(e) 0 J  

Explanation:

mass of crate, m = 32 kg

distance, s = 7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.26

(a) As it is moving with constant velocity so the force applied is equal to the friction force.

F = 0.26 x m x g = 0.26 x 32 x 9.8 = 81.54 N

(b) The work done on the crate

W = F x s = 81.54 x 7 = 570.75 J

(c) Work done by the friction

W' = - W = - 570.75 J

(d) Work done by the normal force

W'' = m g cos 90 = 0 J

Work done by the gravity

Wg = m g cos 90 = 0 J

(e) The total work done is

Wnet = W + W' + W'' + Wg = 570.75 - 570.75 + 0 = 0 J

Answer:

Mistakes, chaos theory.

Explanation:

Weather forecast refers to the application of technology and science in predicting what the condition's of an atmosphere would be at a particular time in a given location. Keyword here is "Predicting."  

To accurately "predict" the weather, observation data needs to be collected from weather stations across the world. The data collected from the stations are too complex such that they can only be processed by supercomputers.

It is important to note that supercomputers used to predict weather are liable to make mistakes because the enormous challenge of weather forecasting is more than their capabilities.

In addition, there is a concept known as chaos theory. It explains how very small changes in initial weather conditions can change the final results. No thanks to chaos, meteorologists would not be able to predict weather accurately.  

This is the reason why the world still suffers from the incidence of surprise rain, storms and other weather events that could be devastating.

2 ways to change frictional force between 2 objects
Zanzabum
In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.
