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 .

If five joules were required to move a crate in 3.7 seconds, what power was applied?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.35 Watts

Explanation:

Data

Work = W = 5 J

time = t = 3.7 s

Power = P = ?

Formula

Power is a rate in which work is done or energy is transferred over time

P = \frac{W}{t}

Substitution

P = \frac{5}{3.7}

Result

P = 1.35 W

A block and tackle pulley system of 6 pulley uses 300N to overcome 1200N.find efficiency
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

66.7%

Explanation:

There are 6 pulleys, so the mechanical advantage is 6.

The theoretical force needed to overcome 1200 N is therefore:

1200 N / 6 = 200 N

The actual force is 300 N.  So the efficiency is:

200 N / 300 N × 100% = 66.7%
