J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. In 1904, he proposed a model of an atom, describing that there was an equal distribution of negative and positive charges throughout the atom. In 1909, Ernest Rutherford tested J. J. Thomson’s model by shooting positive particles at gold foil. Based on Thomson's model, it was predicted that the particles would fly through the foil with a small amount deflected back. Analyzing the results, Rutherford discovered that more of the particles bounced back than expected. Which of the following best explains how the results of Rutherford’s experiment affected Thomson’s widely-accepted atomic model?

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? question 2 options: pushing against a locked door carrying a box down a corridor pulling a trailer up a hill suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

How is coal extracted from mountaintop removal mines? a. dynamite is used to create underground tunnels where miners go to extract the coal. b. dynamite is used to break apart rocks and then draglines are used to remove the broken rock and reach the coal. c. coal in mountaintops is extracted by digging strips in the landscape to reach the coal. d. placer deposits in mountain river bottoms are removed by
