In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, some of the positive particles would pass through the foil and some would bounce off. This led to a new theory that all of the positive subatomic particles were in the center of the atom instead of evenly spread throughout.
Answer:
a = 1600 m / s²
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,
v² = v₀² + 2 a x
where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m
a = 
let's calculate
a = 
a = 1600 m / s²
Answer:
The dependent variable is academic performance
The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support
The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.
The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support
Explanation:
In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.
The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.
The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.
The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).
Answer:
Momentum is given by
p
=
m
v
. Impulse is the change of momentum,
I
=
Δ
p
and is also equal to force times time:
I
=
F
t
. Rearranging,
F
=

=
Δ

This is called the impulse:

We can rearrange this expression to make

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.
(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)
