In a Rutherford scattering experiment, each atom in a thin gold foil can be considered a target with a circular cross section. A

lpha particles are fired at this target, with the nucleus as the bull's-eye. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the gold nucleus to the cross-sectional area of the atom is equal to 2.6 10-7. The radius of the gold atom is 1.4 10-11. What is the radius of the gold nucleus

Answer:

Explanation:

the cross-sectional area of the gold nucleus / the cross-sectional area of the atom  = 2.6 x 10⁻⁷

value of radius of gold atom = 1.4 x 10⁻¹¹

cross sectional area = π x (1.4 x 10⁻¹¹ )²

= 6.15 x 10⁻²²  Putting this value in the ratio above

the cross-sectional area of the gold nucleus / 6.15 x 10⁻²² = 2.6 x 10⁻⁷

the cross-sectional area of the gold nucleus = 16 x 10⁻²⁹

radius of nucleus R

π R² = 16 x 10⁻²⁹

R² = 5.1 X 10⁻²⁹

R = 7.14 x 10⁻¹⁵ .

What is the weight of a 20kg stone?​
worty [1.4K]

Answer: w = 200N

Explanation:

w = mg

m = 20kg

g = 10m/s^ (approximately)

w = 20kg . 10m/s^

w = 200N

How can we help people with anger problems!?​
zubka84 [21]

If someone with anger issues is struggling to control their temper, great tips are:

1. Find something in your life that you've been through that may relate to what this person is angry about, and calmly share your story. For example, Tom is abnormally angry about not getting his new tool kit delivered on time. So you say, "I understand, one time I waited weeks for my phone case to come in and it upset me very much."

2. Take the angered individual to an isolated and private area. This gives them less triggers and is safer for others.

3. Teach the person coping skills when they are NOT currently having an episode. For example, Chloe is in a good mood while she is painting her nails. So you say, "Can I show you a coping skill for anger I found online? Its awesome! Just tense up every muscle in your body as hard as you can for 5 seconds, then release the tension slowly for 10 seconds. Repeat until you feel cooled down. Try it!"

4. If someone's anger problems become a threat to themselves or those around them, take this person to see a professional. It could be serious!
