Rutherford used positively charged particles to investigate the structure of the atom. The results surprised him, and he develop

ed the atomic model shown below. What surprising result is explained using this model? A few positive particles bounced back because they bounced off of the net formed by the ovals. A few positive particles bounced back because they were pushed away from the positive center. Most positive particles passed through because of the empty space between the outer edge and the center. Most positive particles passed through because they were attracted by the small particles moving around the center.

<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is Most positive particles passed through because of the empty space between the outer edge and the center.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ernest Rutherford gave an experiment known as Gold Foil Experiment.

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and then bombarded it with alpha particles which carry a positive charge of +2 units. He first thought that many of the particles will bounce back but to his surprise, many of them passed through, some of them deflected their path and a few of them bounced back.

From this he concluded that in an atom, there exist a small positive charge concentrated at the the center and an atom mostly consists of empty space.

Hence, the surprising statement is most positive particles passed through because of the empty space between the outer edge and the center.

Assume r= t  not sure if you mistyped this.
t =  15 min

T(t)  = 68 (0.5)^(15/10) = 24 Celsius

31 = (0.5)^(t/10) take ln

ln31 = (t/10) ln (0.5) + ln68

t = (ln32 - ln 68/ln0.5) * 10 = 11.3 min

The local museum had 20000 visitors in 1990 . The number of visitors has decreased by 3% each year since 1990 . Enter a function
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

It is m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1990, each year has (100-3) = 97% ( or 0.97) of visitors that it had the previous year.

So m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x   (answer).

Kristen is 64 inches tall, and she stands 12 feet away from a streetlight. If she casts an 82-inch-long shadow, how tall is the
o-na [289]

Answer:

176.39 inches or

14.70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.

This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.

Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.

The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.

Hence the two triangles would be similar

Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

tanx=\frac{64}{82}

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

tanx=\frac{h}{82+12(12)}=\frac{h}{226}

From these two we get

h = height of street light =\frac{226(64)}{82} =176.39

A California distributor of sporting equipment expects to sell 10,000 cases of tennis balls during the coming year at a steady r
sleet_krkn [62]

Economic Order Quantity

The economic order quantity, that is, the order quantity that minimizes the inventory cost is:

300 cases of tennis balls

Data and Calculations:

Sales of tennis balls for the coming year = 10,000 units

Carrying (holding) costs per case = $10

Cost of placing orders with the manufacturer = $45 per order

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = square root of (2 * Annual Demand/Sales * Ordering cost)/Carrying cost per case

= square root of (2 * 10,000 * $45)/$10

= square root of 90,000

= 300 tennis balls

This implies that the distributor will place about 33 orders in the coming year.  With each order, the quantity placed is 300 units.  This is the economic order quantity that will minimize its inventory cost for the year.
