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.

Answer:
The options are
A.on racetracks
B.in real-world conditions
C.in flooded environments
D.on closed courses
The answer is B. In real world conditions
The public is not yet able to purchase cars powered by hydrogen fuel cells because engineers have to determin
how the cars perform based on real world conditions.
This will ensure they encounter the real and first hand experiences about the challenges and also the advantages associated with using this type of fuel.
29 million are type 2, that would be about 9.5 percent. :)
Explanation:
velocity = 15 km/hr = 15×1000m / 60×60s
= 4.17 m/s
time= 20 min= 20 × 60s
= 1200s
displacement =?
we know that,
V = D / t
or, 4.17 = D / 1200
or, D = 4.17 × 1200
or,D = 5004 m
Cathode ray tube, plumb pudding model, atoms were not hard spheres, but had smaller parts.
