the majority of the alpha particles passed through with no deflection. what does this suggest about the structure of the atom?

Rutherford's gold foil experiments (and other metal foil experiments) involved firing positively charged alpha particles at a piece of gold/metal foil. The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. Most of the time, the alpha particles would pass through the foil without any change in their trajectories, which is what was expected if JJ Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was correct. However, occasionally the alpha particles would be deflected to some degree, and sometimes an alpha particle would bounce back directly toward the experimenter. Rutherford likened this to firing a 15-inch artillery shell at a sheet of tissue paper and the shell came back to hit you.
In order for the alpha particles to be deflected, they would have to hit or come near to a positively charged particle in the atom. These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus.

This suggests that "most of the space within the atom is empty"

Hope this helps!

Answer:

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards.

The pressure at a depth in a fluid of constant density is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere plus the pressure due to the weight of the fluid, or p = p 0 + ρ h g , p = p 0 + ρ h g , 14.4

Extend the life of your __________ by avoiding fast starts, stops and sharp turns.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Tires.

Explanation:

There are the few steps which are discussed below should be taken to increase or extend the life of tires.

(1) Avoid fast starts: Fast start of the vehicle will increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(2) Avoid fast stop: Fast stop of the vehicle will also increase the pressure on the tires due to the friction between the tires and the road will decrease the life of tires.

(3) Avoid sharp turns: The alignment of the wheels and tires are in such a way that they work properly when vehicle is drive in a straight path but sharp turn will increase the uneven pressure on the tires will lead to decrease the life of tires.

Therefore, the life of tires can be extend by avoiding all the above mention actions such as fast stop, start and sharp turns.

A 2kg hockey puck is sliding across the ice skating rink at 2 m/s. A player hits the puck so it's velocity increases to 10 m/s.

konstantin123 [22]

The work done on the puck is 96 J

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the hockey puck is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the puck.

Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the final kinetic energy of the puck, with

m = 2 kg being the mass of the puck

v = 10 m/s is the final speed

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2$ is the initial kinetic energy of the puck, with

u = 2 m/s being the initial speed of the puck

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the work done by the player on the puck:

$W=\frac{1}{2}(2)(10)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)^2=96 J$

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

The MAC is 58 inches, The CG limits are from 26% to 43% MAC. If the CG is found to be

eimsori [14]

By working with percentages, we want to see how many inches is the center of gravity out of the limits. We will find that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

<h3>What are the limits?</h3>

First, we need to find the limits.

We know that the MAC is 58 inches, and the limits are from 26% to 43% MAC.

So if 58 in is the 100%, the 26% and 43% of that are:

26% → (26%/100%)*58in = 0.26*58 in = 15.08 in
43% → (43%/100%)*58in = 0.43*58 in = 24.94 in.

But we know that the CG is found to be 45.5% MAC, then it measures:

(45.5%/100%)*58in = 0.455*58in = 26.39 in

We need to compare it with the largest limit, so we get:

26.39 in - 24.94 in = 1.45 in

This means that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.
