What do you think are the chances of alpha particle directly hitting the nucleus?
What do you think are the change of the alpha particles directly hitting the nucleus
Does particles move in different directions?
molecules in the air constantly moving and hitting the dust particle.
Why was existence of a tiny massive and positively charged nucleus was deduced from the observations?
Why or how? The number of alpha particles deflected was small ... indicating the nucleus was small. The deflection of an even smaller amount of alpha particles almost straight back toward the emitting source proved that the nucleus was heavier than the alpha particle. According to previous atomic theory, the alpha particles should have all gone straight through the metal foil, with none deflected. Math calculations based on the deflection pattern showed that the nucleus was repelling the alpha particles, that they were not actually hitting and bouncing off the nucleus... this showed that the nucleus was positively charged.
Is it true some particles bounce off the gold foil because they hit protons in the nucleus in the Rutherford gold foil experiment?
Yes, that is true. In the Rutherford gold foil experiment, some alpha particles were observed to bounce off the gold foil because they came close to or hit the positive protons present in the nucleus of gold atoms. This result led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the understanding that atoms are mostly empty space.
What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?
The pressure in a container is due to the particles of the gas hitting the inside walls of the container.
Result of charged particles hitting gas particles?
Light, on most cases.
Effects that charged particles have hitting gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere?
Aurora. Northern Lights.
Auroras are caused by what hitting the atmosphere?
Auroras are caused by charged solar particles colliding with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the ionosphere, which is the highest level of the atmosphere.
What is the charge for hitting a moving car with a snow ball?
You can be charged up to 600 dollars for hitting a car with a snowball. You can also be arrested and charged with assault.
How does the gas particles move?
From atoms hitting them.
Is it ok to threaten someone by hitting them?
No, you can be charged with battery at least.
What do you think are the chances of alpha particle directly hitting the nucleus?
What do you think are the change of the alpha particles directly hitting the nucleus
What prevents most charge particles from the Sun from hitting Earth?
The athmosphere
Does a particle need to have an electrical charge to be used in a particle accelerator?
Yes, a particle used in a particle accelerator must have a charge to be useful in the device. Particle accelerators we use in high energy physics to investigate things all work by applying a moving or shifting magnetic field to accelerate charged particles. We speed these particles up by repeatedly "hitting" them with a magnetic field. Uncharged particles will not respond to this, and canot be used in the devices.

How the motions of gas particles related to the pressure exerted by the gas?
the higher pressure results in particles hitting against the wall more often therefore, when there is a hole in something, particles leave the object quicker
