We are to calculate the acceleration.

Answer:

-9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Since the egg is in a free fall, it means that the force due to gravity will be equal to the normal force.

Now,

Force due to gravity: F_g = mg

Normal force; F_n = ma

Thus;

mg = ma

m will cancel out to get

g = a

Since it is a free fall motion, then gravity is negative;

-g = a

g has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Thus;

a = -9.8 m/s²

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: $x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to $x_m$

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is $\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$U=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

it is given

$k=U$

thus $2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2x^2=x_m^2$

$x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$
