The Geiger–Marsden experiment(s) (also called the Rutherford gold foil experiment) were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists discovered that every atom contains a nucleus where its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:
Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.
Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :
Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.
Answer:
F' = (4/9)F
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:
F = kq₁q₂/r² -------------------- equation (1)
where,
F = Electrostatic Force
k = Coulomb's Constant
q₁ = magnitude of first charge
q₂ = magnitude of second charge
r = distance between charges
Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:
q₁' = 2q₁
q₂' = 2q₂
r' = 3r
Then,
F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²
F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²
F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²
using equation (1):
<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>
Answer:
5.72 s
Explanation:
From Newton's law, F = ma
The East is +ve direction, Hence,
F = +8930 N
m = 2290 kg
a = ?
8930 = 2290 × a
a = 8930/2290 = 3.90 m/s²
So, we will find the time it takes the car to stop using the equations of motion
a = 3.90 m/s²
u = initial velocity of the car = - 22.3 m/s (the velocity is to the west)
v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest)
t = time taken for the car to come to rest = ?
v = u + at
0 = - 22.3 + (3.90)(t)
3.9t = 22.3
t = 5.72 s
