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

Physics

natima [27]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

a)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

b)

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

c)

xt = 2100 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.

a)

When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:

v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 20 [s]

40 = 0 + (a*20)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2}+(2*a*x)

where:

x1 = distance [m]

40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)

x1 = 400 [m]

Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.

v = x2/t2

where:

x2 = distance [m]

t2 = 30 [s]

x2 = 40*30

x2 = 1200 [m]

b)

Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.

v_{f} = v_{i}-a*t

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.

0 = 40 - (a *25)

a = 40/25

a = 1.6 [m/s^2]

The distance can be calculates as follows:

v_{f} ^{2}  = v_{i} ^{2} -2*a*x3\\

0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)

x3 = 500 [m]

c)

Now we sum all the distances calculated:

xt = x1 + x2 + x3

xt = 400 + 1200 + 500

xt = 2100 [m]

1. A runner has an initial speed of 2 [m/s] and slowly speeds up with a constant acceleration of
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Final Velocity = 4.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;. Initial velocity; u = 2 m/s

Constant Acceleration; a = 0.1 m/s²

Distance; s = 100 m

To find the final velocity(v), we will use one of Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v² = 2² + 2(0.1 × 100)

v² = 4 + 20

v² = 24

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s

When the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between
mrs_skeptik [129]

The new gravitational attraction will be 1/4 as much

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, the original force between the two objects is F, when they are separated by a distance r.

Later, the distance between the two objects is doubled, so the new distance is

r'=2r

Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=\frac{F}{4}

Therefore, the new force will be one-fourth as much.

jenyasd209 [6]
<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s  

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s  

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.
