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 .

A person is pulling their 20 kg luggage using the luggage handle. The handle is at an angle of 56 degrees above the horizontal.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  a = 1.99 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

angle = 56°

Force = 71 N

horizontal acceleration = ?

Process

Find the horizontal force

                                           cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                                          adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

                                          adjacent side = 71 x cos 56

                                          a.s. = 39.70 N

Newton's second law

                                  F = ma

                                  a = F/m

                                 a = 39.7 / 20

                                  a = 1.99 m/s²

A supersonic jet is at an altitude of 14 kilometers flying at 1,500 kilometers per hour toward the east. At this velocity, how f
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The jet will fly 2400 km.

Explanation:

Given the velocity of the jet flying toward the east is 1,500 kmph toward the east.

We need to find the distance covered in 1.6 hours.

In our problem we are given speed and time, we can easily determine the distance using the following formula.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Distance=1500\times 1.6=2400\ km

So, the supersonic jet will travel 2400 km in 1.6 hours toward the east from its starting point.
