What caused rutherford to propose a revised model of the atom

Physics

Wewaii [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

Rutherford proposed a revised model for the atom, called the planetary model. The previous model of the atom was Thomson's Plum Pudding Model which consisted of freely moving positive and negative charges inside the atom.

Rutherford proposed his model after an experiment he conducted called the Gold Foil Experiment. This experiment consisted of a thin gold sheet into which alpha particles were shot upon and they were detected by a sensor. The image attached will give a better explanation of this. In this experiment he shot a beam of alpha particles(helium nucleus) at a thin sheet of gold. Rutherford hypothesised that there should be minimum deflection of the positively charged alpha particles occuring due to the repulsion of the alpha particle with the positive charges in the thin gold sheet. This was not the case.

However what he found was that most of alpha particles went straight through the thin sheet of gold but some were reflected back to him. This surprised him. Hence he proposed that most of the atom must be empty space as most of the alpha particles went straight through the sheet and there must be a heavy nucleus inside the atom causing the alpha particles to bounce back.

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

lapo4ka [179]

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground, given the data is 21.56 m/s

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Time to reach ground from maximum height (t) = 2.2 s
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) =?

<h3>How to determine the velocity when the ball strikes the ground</h3>

The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground can be obtained as illustrated below:

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 2.2)

v = 0 + 21.56

v = 21.56 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground is 21.56 m/s
