Answer:

n. Abbr. BMR. The rate at which energy is used by an organism at complete rest, measured in humans by the heat given off per unit time, and expressed as the calories released per kilogram of body weight or per square meter of body surface per hour.

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

Please answer this question for me and explain why.

horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass $m_2$ and the 4kg mass $m_1$ . If the tension in the string is $T$ then for the mass $m_2$

(1). $T-m_2g=-m_2a$ (the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)

And for the mass $m_1$

(2). $T-m_1g =m_1a$ (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)

Solving for $T$ in the 2nd equation we get:

$T =m_1a+m_1g$ ,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

$m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g$

$\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}$

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

$a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g$

$a = \dfrac{g}{9},$

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

A cricket player catches the ball leaning towards to the ground,why?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it’s difficult to catch it from up.

Gravitational force will pull us when we jump.

If gravity was not there, he could catch the ball. But he will float in the sky after that.

That’s the answer

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?

baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

A rocket ship is accelerating at 200 m/s2, its mas is 135,000,000 kg. What is the force generated by this acceleration?

Rina8888 [55]

Acceleration does NOT "generate" force. Acceleration NEEDS force to make it happen. Without force ... provided by something else ... acceleration can't happen.

The force NEEDED to accelerate a mass with a certain acceleration is

Force needed = (mass) times (acceleration)

For the rocket ship in the question,

Force = (135,000,000 kg) times (200 m/s²)

Force = (135,000,000 x 200) kg-m/s²

Force = 27 Giga-Newtons (27,000,000,000 Newtons)

The gas-generator cycle F-1 rocket engine, developed in the US by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s, was used in the Saturn V rocket, the main launch vehicle of NASA's Apollo moon lander program . Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of each Saturn V.

==> The thrust of each F-1 engine at full throttle is 7,770 kilo-Newtons.

It would take 3,475 of these F-1 rocket engines, running full-throttle, to provide the force calculated in the answer to this question. If you didn't have 3,475 F-1 rocket engines, then you couldn't accelerate 135,000,000 kg at 200 m/s².

(And by the way ... the mass of each F-1 engine is 8,400 kg. So 3,475 engines alone account for 22% of the mass you're trying to accelerate. And don't even get me started about the mass of the FUEL you'd need to carry.)
