In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, the alpha particles that traveled through the gold foil hit the screen behind it in more t

han one spot. Explain the significance of this finding and the discovery it led to.

before Rutherford explanation of atomic structure we know that atom is made up of solid positive sphere in which equal negative charge is randomly distributed

So here we can say if atom is like above then on incident of alpha particles they should deflect from the atom and no alpha particle must have to detect behind the atom on screen.

But here we can see in Rutherford experiment we have more than one spot where alpha particles hit the screen

So as per above result we can further say that positive part of nuclei is very small and it will deflect the alpha particle on if alpha particle pass near it.

So here we got more alpha particle behind the atom and then the new model of Rutherford is proposed for an atom

A charged particle of mass m = 5.00g and charge q = -70.0μC moves horizontally to the right at a constant velocity of v = 30.0 k
pychu [463]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force, B = 5 Tesla, Up (North) direction

Explanation:

Magnetic force F= Eq where Electric field, E = 750 NC

and charge, q = -70 μC = -7 ×10^{-5}C

F = 750 ×  -7 ×10^{-5}

F = 0.0525

But F = qvB; B = \frac{F}{qv}

where B is the magnetic field

= 0.0525 ÷ ( -7 ×10^{-5} × 30)

B = 5.0 Teslas

The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge.

Hence the direction of the charge is up (North).

The graph below shows the energy sources used to generate electricity in the United States.
DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.

The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.

An object with a higher temperature can have less thermal energy than an object
Anna [14]
It’s true, because it also depends on things like mass. Higher temperature but less mass< Lower temperature but more mass.

The heat capacity of 0.125Kg of water is measured to be 523j/k at a room temperature.Hence, calculate the heat capacity of water
Naily [24]

Answer:

A. 4148 J/K/Kg

B. 4148 J/K/L

Explanation:

A. Heat capacity per unit mass is known as the specific heat capacity, c.

C = Heat capacity/mass(kg)

C = (523 J/K) / 0.125 Kg = 4148 J/K/Kg

B. Volume of water = mass/density

Density of water = 1 Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 Kg/ 1Kg/L

Volume of water = 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = (523 J/K) / 0.125 L

Heat capacity per unit volume = 4148 J/K/L
