In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.

1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance

d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²

= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²

= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³

= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶

=48.4 x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Susan's 10.0kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30? above the f

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i$ (1)

Where:

$W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}$

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ , so if the initial velocity $v_i$ is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy $K_i$ is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}$

$\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f$

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”

dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the two mediums

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)
