Rutherford performs the alpha particle scattering experiment. Alpha particles incident on a gold foil in a vaccum are scattered by a range of angles, due to the electrostatic repulsion between the positiv...

First, we look at the energy of the smaller ball.We know Gravitational potential energy = mgh (m=mass g=9.81 h=height)So we can plug our numbers from the question into the equation to get:GPE=mgh=1x9.81x1...

We may use from the equation sheet, that p = h ρ g. Here, we are looking for a change in pressure, so one or more of the terms on the other side of the equation must be changing too. The question tells us...

At the start of the jump, the skydiver starts accelerating downwards due to his weight (force of gravity). There is a resultant force downwards as the weight is larger than the air resistance (weight>a...

We are given the power of the iron, 2600W and we know that Power = Energy/Time. We are also given the specific heat capacity of steel (C) which gives us a clue that we should use ...
