Why must indirect evidence be used to study the structure of atoms?
Sloan [31]
Indirect evidence must be used to study the structure of atoms, because the direct evidence affects the position and energy of the particles of the atomic structure.

For example, imagine you use a light ray to find the location of an electron in an atomic structure, the current location of the electron you are now seeing is as a result of the light ray, and the electron has changed it's initial position to a new position as a result of the effect of the light ray.

So indirect means would probably give more accurate answers about the atomic structure than that of the direct means.

An example of the indirect means would be for example setting up a mathematical equation or  model of the atomic structure and trying to provide solution for the model or equation.

Two ice skaters push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 54.1-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.375 m
asambeis [7]

Answer:

0.338125 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Law of conservation of momentum

m'v' = mv............ Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the first skater, v' = velocity of the first skater, m = mass of the second skater, v = velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation

v = m'v'/m........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: m' = 54.1 kg, v' = 0.375 m/s, m = 60 kg

Substitute these values into equation

v = (54.1×0.375)/60

v = 20.2875/60

v = 0.338125 m/s

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

W= 4.89 KJ

Explanation:

Lets take

temperature of hot water T₁ = 100⁰C

T₁ = 373 K

Temperature of cold ice T₂= 0⁰C

T₂ = 273 K

The latent heat of ice LH= 334 KJ

The heat rejected by the engine Q= m .LH

Q₂= 0.04 x 334

Q₂= 13.36 KJ

Heat gain by engine = Q₁

For Carnot engine

Q_1=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}Q_2

Q_1=\dfrac{373}{273}\times 13.36

Q₁  = 18.25 KJ

The work W= Q₁  - Q₂

W= 18.25 - 13.36 KJ

W= 4.89 KJ
