Ernest Rutherford (who was the first person born in New Zealand to be awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from gold-197 nuclei (197Au). During this experiment, the energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.00 × 10^-13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68 × 10^-27 kg and 3.29 × 10^-25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197).

a. If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 1200 during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus's final speed and the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold nucleus.
b. What is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?

To run the physics cart, the fan speed of the cart is manipulated. this is the (blank) variable. the cart accelerates due to the speed of the fan. acceleration is therefore the (blank) variable. a “constant” is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. one parameter of the cart that is held constant is the (blank) .

Arocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) what is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) what is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?

Asmall electric heater, immersed in 80g of water in a calorimeter of 40j/k raises the temperature from 10.5 degree celsius to 25 degree celsius in 12 minutes. using the same apparatus with 50g of oil instead of water, it is found that the temperature of oil rises from 7 degree celsius to 27 degree celsius in 10 minutes. find specific heat capacity of the oil.
