Answer:
Divide by 3
Explanation:
In order to estimate the distance traveled by a lightening flash in kilometers, we follow these simple steps:
- Make a count of the number of seconds in between the period a flash occur and the thunder accompanied by the lightening flash is heard.
- Dive the total number of seconds by 3 to get the distance traveled by the flash. This is because in order to cover 1 km, it roughly takes 3 seconds.
Answer:
The answer is B on khan academy
Explanation:
Answer:
The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is
8.00 x 10-13J
Explanation:
In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).
Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)
Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.
That is,
1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r
Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter
By collapsing and crumpling, the force and energy is absorbed by the crumple zone and it is not transferred to the passengers inside. This is a safety feature for the passengers.
