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 basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

Explain, briefly, what the electrical field inside a microwave oven does to heat food.
yarga [219]

Answer:

Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up.May 3, 2018

Describe when the chemical<br> reaction occurs in a dry-cell<br> battery
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

<em>For a dry-cell battery to operate, oxidation will occur from the zinc anode and reduction will take place in the cathode. The most common type of cathode is a carbon graphite. Once reactants have been turned into products, the dry-cell battery will work to produce electricity.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.</em>

If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?
Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1

\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}

and the direction will be north-east.
