(a)
The other particle emerged from the nitrogen gas in Rutherford Scattering experiment in which he bombarded a sample of nitrogen gas with a beam of alpha particles.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Proton is the other particle emerged in the experiment.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: Rutherford bombarded a sample of nitrogen gas with a beam of alpha particles.
Proton is a positively charged particle with magnitude is equal to that of electronic charge .the mass of the proton is
In Alpha particle scattering experiment, Along with the deflected alpha particles, a positively charged particles were emitted. Rutherford observed the new particle behaving like nuclei of hydrogen atom.
By repeated experiment with gases he confirmed that it is new particle in side the nucleus and called as proton.
Conclusion:
Thus, Proton is the other particle emerged in the experiment.
(b)
The conclusion of the experiment.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The protons are coming from the nucleus because no proton presented in the initial state.
Explanation of Solution
In the alpha particle experiment the mass of the a beam of alpha particles were bombarded with nitrogen gas while only few were deflected most of them passed through the gas. A new particles were observed with positive charge with magnitude equal to electronic charge.
These particle behaved like hydrogen nucleus and Rutherford observed these particle in other gas medium like helium, nitrogen and carbon. So he confirmed that hydrogen nucleus is a basic constituent of the nucleus of other elements. This particle named proton. Since only few observed he confirmed it is coming from the nucleus.
Conclusion:
Thus, the protons are coming from the nucleus because no proton presented in the initial state.

The Physics of Everyday Phenomena
- In a scene from The Avengers (the first one) Black Widow is boosted directly upwards by Captain America, where she then grabs on to a Chitauri speeder that is 15.0 feet above her and hangs on. She is in the air for 1.04 s. A) With what initial velocity was Black Widow launched? 1 m = 3.28 ft B) What was Black Widow’s velocity just before she grabbed the speeder? Assume upwards is the positive direction.arrow_forwardIn Dark Souls 3 you can kill the Ancient Wyvern by dropping on its head from above it. Let’s say you jump off the ledge with an initial velocity of 3.86 mph and spend 1.72 s in the air before hitting the wyvern’s head. Assume the gravity is the same as that of Earth and upwards is the positive direction. Also, 1 mile = 1609 m. A) How high up is the the ledge you jumped from as measured from the wyvern’s head? B) What is your velocity when you hit the wyvern?arrow_forwardA) If Yoshi flings himself downwards at 9.76 miles per hour to hit an enemy 10.5 m below him, how fast is Yoshi traveling when he hits the enemy? 1 mile = 1609 marrow_forward
