Explain the results of Rutherford’s gold foil experiment and how they changed our model of the atom.

Physics
1 answer:
lianna [129]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Through Rutherford's gold foil experiment, he disproved J.J Thompson's theory. Rutherford was very interested in studying the behavior of x-rays, which was then recently discovered by Curie. When he shot a beam of alpha particles (particles with 2 neutrons and 2 protons, or the Helium atom) toward the gold foil, the particles were deflected by a slight angle. He then theorized that these deflections were due to the existence of a dense nucleus inside the atom. 

Following Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus, Niels Bohr theorized the planetary model of the atomic structure. According to him, the atom is like a solar system wherein the Sun is the nucleus and the planets are the electrons orbiting around it. The electrons and protons move this way because they are influenced by an electric force due to the difference of their charges.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

A steam power plant with a power output of 200 MW consumes coal at a rate of 700 tons/h. If the heating value of the coal is 40,
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

η = 2.57%

Explanation:

Given:

Output power of the steam power plant, P(out) = 200 MW

Consumption of coal, m = 700 tons/h = (700 × 10³)/3600 kg/s= 194.44 kg/s

Heating capacity of the coal, Cv = 40000 kJ/kg

now,

Input power,  P(in) = mCv

or

P(in) =  194.44 kg/s × 40000 = 7777.77 MW

thus,

efficiency, η = P(out)/P(in) = (200 MW) / (7777.77 MW) = 0.02571

or

η = 2.57%
