Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small

and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei from gold-197 nuclei. The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.00\times 10^{-13}~\text{J}8.00×10 ​−13 ​​ J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68\times 10^{-27}~\text{kg}6.68×10 ​−27 ​​ kg and 3.29\times 10^{-25}~\text{kg}3.29×10 ​−25 ​​ kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 120^\circ120 ​∘ ​​ during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, what is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is

8.00 x 10-13J

Explanation:

In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).

Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)

Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.

That is,

1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r

Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter

Answer:

. The loop is pushed to the right, away from the magnetic field

Explanation

This decrease in magnetic strength causes an opposing force that pushes the loop away from the field

The pail is rotated at a constant rate so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path. The water has mass m.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pail is rotated at a constant rate in vertical circular path  so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path . That means at top position the velocity is almost zero. In that case the centripetal force at top position will be provided by its weight or

mg = mv² / r ( r is radius of  vertical circular path )

v = √ rg

At the bottom position its velocity will be increased due to loss of potential energy

so 1/2 m V² = 1/2 m v² + mg x 2r  

V =√ 5 gr

If R be the reaction force at the bottom by bottom of pail

R - mg = mV² / r

R = mg +mV² / r

= mg + m x 5gr / r

R = 6mg

This is the magnitude of the force exerted by the water on the bottom of the pail .

a marine biologist wants to know the total vertical distance a dolphin travel during a jump with the surface of the water being
marin [14]

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

If the wire is replaced by an infinite current sheet with density Js = 0.40 A/m, what would be the magnetic flux (in T · m2) thr
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

\phi _{B} =0.855 T-m^{-2}

Explanation:

given data

density of current sheet = 0.40 A/m

length a = 0.27 m

width b = 0.63 m

For infinite sheet, magnetic field is given as

B = \mu _{O}J

magnetic flux is given as

\phi _{B} = BA

                   = \mu _{O}Jab

                   = 4\pi *0.40*0.27*0.63

\phi _{B} =0.855 T-m^{-2}
