Explanation:
Rutherford proposed a revised model for the atom, called the planetary model. The previous model of the atom was Thomson's Plum Pudding Model which consisted of freely moving positive and negative charges inside the atom.
Rutherford proposed his model after an experiment he conducted called the Gold Foil Experiment. This experiment consisted of a thin gold sheet into which alpha particles were shot upon and they were detected by a sensor. The image attached will give a better explanation of this. In this experiment he shot a beam of alpha particles(helium nucleus) at a thin sheet of gold. Rutherford hypothesised that there should be minimum deflection of the positively charged alpha particles occuring due to the repulsion of the alpha particle with the positive charges in the thin gold sheet. This was not the case.
However what he found was that most of alpha particles went straight through the thin sheet of gold but some were reflected back to him. This surprised him. Hence he proposed that most of the atom must be empty space as most of the alpha particles went straight through the sheet and there must be a heavy nucleus inside the atom causing the alpha particles to bounce back.
Explanation:
At first sight, it doesn’t make sense that both fission and fusion release energy.
The key is in how tightly the nucleons are held together in a nucleus. If a nuclear reaction produces nuclei that are more tightly bound than the originals, then the excess energy will be released.
It turns out that the most tightly bound atomic nuclei are around the size of iron-56.
Thus, if you split a nucleus that is much larger than iron into smaller fragments, you will release energy because the smaller fragments are at a lower energy than the original nucleus.
If instead you fuse very light nuclei to get bigger products, energy is again released because the nucleons in the products are more tightly bound than in the original nuclei.

The temperature of the water getting colder would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop due to less heat being transferred from the water to the liquid, so the liquid molecules are closer than when they have high energy.
Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock
Answer:
0.94 m³/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Air flow (in ft³/min) = 2×10³ ft³/min
Air flow (in m³/s) =.?
Next, we shall convert 2×10³ ft³/min to m³/min. This can be obtained as follow:
35.315 ft³/min = 1 m³/min
Therefore,
2×10³ ft³/min = 2×10³ ft³/min × 1 m³/min / 35.315 ft³/min
2×10³ ft³/min = 56.63 m³/min
Finally, we shall convert 56.63 m³/min to m³/s. This can be obtained as follow:
1 m³/min = 1/60 m³/s
Therefore,
56.63 m³/min = 56.63 m³/min × 1/60 m³/s ÷ 1 m³/min
56.63 m³/min = 0.94 m³/s
Thus, 2×10³ ft³/minis equivalent to 0.94 m³/s.
