Question
Enlist the conclusions drawn by Rutherford from his α-ray scattering experiment.
✓

Answer

Conclusion of Rutherford’s a-rays scattering experiment:
  1. Most of the space inside the atom is empty because most of the a-particles passed through the gold foil without getting deflected.
  2. Very few particles were deflected from their path, indicating that the positive charge of the atom occupies very little space.
  3. Avery small fraction of a-particles were deflected by $180^\circ $, indicating that all the positive charge and mass of the gold atom were concentrated in very small volume within the atom.

An automobile engine propels a $1,000 \ kg$ car $A$ along a levelled road at a speed of $36 \ km\ h ^{-1}$. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is $100 N$ . Now, suppose after travelling a distance of $200 m ,$ this car collides with another stationary car $B$ of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now, car $B$ starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car $B$ just after the collision.
