Answer:

Given that,

Mass of the Earth m

1

=6×10

24

Kg

Mass of the Moon m

2

=7.4×10

22

kg

Distance between the Earth and the Moon d=3.84×10

5

km=3.84×10

8

m

Gravitational Constant G=6.7×10

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

If a woman weighs 125 lb, her mass expressed in kilograms is x kg, where x is
adelina 88 [10]
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
 1lb = 0.45 Kg
 We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
 1lb ---> 0.45Kg
 125lb ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
 Answer
 her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.
