Answer:
Explanation:
Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.
Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.
The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.
Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.
The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.
Answer:
Having a bigger angle above the horizontal
Explanation:
Applying the energy conservation theorem:
The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.
The friction force is given by:
so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:
So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:
for 45 degrees:
for 75 degrees:
as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.
Answer: D = 16m
Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m
