Answer:

R1 + R2 = R = 12 for resistors in series - so R1 = R2 if they are identical

2 R1 = 12         and R1 = R2 = 6 ohms

1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2     for resistors in parallel

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2) = 6 * 6 / (6 + 6) = 3

The equivalent resistance would be 3 ohms if connected in parallel

Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?
Gnesinka [82]
Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.

An electron is projected with an initial speed of 5 3.2 10 / ⋅ m s directly toward a proton that is fixed in place. If the elect
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The distance is d =1.66*10^{-9}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The initial speed of the  electron is v_i  = 3.2 *10^5 m/s

         The mass of electron is m = 9.11*10^{-31}kg

         Let d be the distance between the electron and the proton when the speed of the electron instantaneously equal to twice the initial value

         Let KE_i be the initial kinetic energy of the electron \

          Let KE_d be the kinetic energy of the electron at the distance d from the proton

  Considering that energy is conserved,

  The energy at the initial position of the electron = The energy at the final position of the electron

      i.e

             KE_i +U_1 = KE_d + U_2

U_1 \ and \ U_2 are the potential energy at the initial  position of the electron and at distance d of the electron to the proton

                Here U_1 = 0

So the equation becomes

                   \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv_d^2  + \frac{kq_1 q_2}{d}

Here q_1 \ and  \ q_2 are the charge on the electron and the proton and their are the same since a charge on an electron is equal to charge on a proton

 k is electrostatic constant with value 8.99*10^9 N \cdot m^2 /C^2

i.e q = 1.602 *10^{-19}C

           v_d is the velocity at distance d from the proton = 2v_i

  So the equation becomes

             \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (2v_i)^2 -\frac{k(q)^2}{d}

            \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2  = 4 [\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 ]- \frac{k(q)^2}{d}

           3[\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 ] = \frac{k(q)^2}{d}

Making d the subject of the formula

           d = \frac{2k(q)^2}{3mv_i^2}

              = \frac{2* 8.99*10^9 *(1.602*10^{-19}^2)}{3 * 9.11*10^{-31} *(3.2*10^5)^2}

              =1.66*10^{-9}m

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

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.

Cheers!
