The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
where
is the net torque acting on the object
is its moment of inertia
is the angular acceleration of the object.
Re-arranging the formula, we get
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system,
, and its angular acceleration,
, we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
Question
Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.
Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?
A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.
B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.
C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
Answer:
The right answer is C)
Explanation:
In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.
So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".
Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

The conclusion is; Cathy's dad has gone fishing.
<h3>What are conclusions in conditional statements?</h3>
A conditional statement is a statement with a hypothesis which is then followed by a conclusion.
A conditional statement has two parts; "if" and "then"
The hypothesis is “if,” part of a conditional statement.
The conclusion is the “then,” part of a conditional statement.
Considering the given conditional statements:
1. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.
2. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.
Since the if part is true, the conclusion will be, Cathy's dad has gone fishing.
In conclusion, a conditional statement consists of a hypothesis and a conclusion.

The printing press had dramatic effects on European civilization. Its immediate effect was that it spread information quickly and accurately. This helped create a wider literate reading public.
That's true.
If the line is perpendicular to the y-axis, then it's horizontal,
and parallel to the x-axis.
Every point on the line has the same y-coordinate. If the point (-5, 1)
is on the line, then all the points (any number, 1) are also on it.
The equation of the line is
[ y = 1 ] .
