Answer:

$100\ \text{meters}$ .

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is $50\ \text{meters}$

Then she traveled $30\ \text{meters}$ Westward.

After which she traveled $20\ \text{meters}$ towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

$50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}$

The distance traveled by Skylar was is $100\ \text{meters}$ .

In his famous experiment, Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin gold film. Most of the alpha particles went through the fir

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

Explanation:

Alpha particles are positive charge particles and they are bounced back by the nucleus because nucleus is also same size

Now in present experiment Rutherford found that very few alpha particles are bounced back along same path which shows that very small region inside the nucleus is having positive charge and rest part of the atom is empty.

Now if we found that half of the alpha particles are bounced back then it shows that size of the nucleus is very large now as compare to previous one because only nucleus can bounce back the alpha particles

so correct answer will be

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:
