Cordelia researched Ernest Rutherford's experiments. Read her summary below and find the error.

Rutherford's experiment showed the positively charged particles were only deflected by a small percentage of the atoms. If the positive charge in the atom was spread throughout the atom, this could not happen. This meant that the atom must be composed mostly of solid positive particles.

A. Error is in sentence 2. If the neutral charge was spread through the atom, this could not happen.

B. Error is in sentence 1. Positively charged particles were deflected by a high percentage of atoms.

C. Error is in sentence 1. Experiments showed that only a few atoms deflected negatively charged particles.

D. Error is in sentence 3. The atom must be composed mostly of empty space.

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 k, with a volumetric flow rate of 93 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 k. heat transfer occurs at a rate of 15.5 kw from the compressor to its surroundings. assuming the ideal gas model for air neglecting kinetic potential energy effects, determine the power in put in kw.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c. m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
