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 motional kinetic energy of a 25 kg object moving at a speed of 10 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

1250kgm²/s is the motional kinetic energy of a 25kg object moving at a speed of 10m/s

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possessed when that is  in motion. It is the energy of the kinetic mass of an object. Kinetic energy is never negative and is a scalar quantity. That is, it shows only size, not orientation.

Given to us

Mass of the object, m=25kg

Velocity of the object, v=10m/s  

K.E=1/2x25x10²

 =1250

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity squared (K.E.) of an object. =1/2xMxV². If the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters/second, then the kinetic energy is in kilograms - meters squared/second.

How will heat flow between objects?
alukav5142 [94]
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
