Answer:

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.

A motor cyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6m/s after travelling with uniform acceleration for 3s. What is his acce

choli [55]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

When an object starts or at its state of rest it has an Initial speed U = 0

Final speed = 6m/s

total time taken for the acceleration = 3s

Acceleration =?

Acceleration is the change in velocity (speed) with time

Time rate of change of velocity

Acceleration = Change in Speed(velocity)

Time taken

Hence,

Acceleration =  V - U 

a = 6 - 0

a = 6 

a = 2m/s²

13. What is the atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to the following? 1 a. that of carbon-12 b. 4.5 times

12345 [234]

The atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to carbon-12 will be 12 and in case of 4.5 times carbon-12 will be 54

Atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the atoms of an element which are measured in atomic mass unit. Or we can also say that the atomic mass is actually the weighted mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of elements, in which the mass of each element is multiplied by the abundance of that particular isotope.

So the atomic mass of an atom if the mass is approximately equal to carbon-12 then the mass of the element will be equal to 12 as the atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12.

where as the atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to 4.5 times as much as carbon-12 will be ⇒ 4.5×12= 54

MgSO4 x 7H2O:

natka813 [3]

Answer:In regards to writing the formula, we know that magnesium has a charge of 1+ and sulfate, SO4, has a charge of 1-. Sulfate is a polyatomic ion so the charge of the whole thing is (SO4)1-. When you combine them you end up with MgSO4 and the "heptahydrate" is seven water molecules.
