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 .

Explain what is the capacity of a battery in your own words​
Vinil7 [7]

Battery capacity (AH) is defined as a product of the current that is drawn from the battery while the battery is able to supply the load until its voltage is dropped to lower than a certain value for each cell.

How many significant digits should the answer to the following problem have? (2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =
Feliz [49]

The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.

<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>

The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.

The following problem is

(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

On solving we get

= 0.86184566204

The answer is approximated to  0.86185

Thus, the significant digits must be four.

A 6.89-nC charge is located 1.76 m from a 4.10-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

F=\frac{k*q1*q2}{d^{2}}

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.

The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.

A planet with a mass one-half that of Earth has a radius that is 3 times that of Earth's radius. What is the gravitational field
stiv31 [10]

The gravitational acceleration of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass, and inversely proportional to square of the planet's radius.

So when you stand on the surface of this particular planet, you feel a force of gravity that is

(1/2) / (3²)

of the force that you feel on the surface of the Earth.

That's <em>(1/18)</em> as much as on Earth.

The acceleration of gravity there would be about <em>0.545 m/s²</em>.  

This is about 12% less than the gravity on Pluto.
