Rutherford scattering - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -

 

Topics

  • Atomic Nuclei
  • Atomic Structure
  • Quantum Mechanics

Description

How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atom without being able to see it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and determining that they must have a small core.

Sample Learning Goals

  • Describe the qualitative difference between scattering off positively charged nucleus and electrically neutral plum pudding atom.
  • For charged nucleus, describe qualitatively how angle of deflection depends on: Energy of incoming particle, Impact parameter, Charge of target

1.1.1 x^2-5x-6=0

x^2-5x-6=0 hello guys um so we'll be doing this x squared minus five x minus six is equals to zero so how do we solve this uh since this is a quadratic equation and already on the other side is equals to zero we simply find factors so we simply find factors what are the factors of six that will give us minus five it is definitely six and one should equals to zero then now we decide we decide on signs so we know that it's negative five so we know that the big sign must take the sign so this will be like that then therefore x is equals to six or x is equals to negative one

IMPI YABOMDABU ISETHUNJINI – JC Buthelezi

 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho. UMZIMBA  UBafana  Ukuba yisifundiswa kukaBafana kwenza ukuba uBafana awubukele phansi/angawazisi umndeni wakhe. La maphuzu alandelayo akhombisa izinto ezenziwa uBafana ukungawunakekeli umndeni wakhe:  • UBafana uxosha umalume wakhe kabuhlungu uma ezocelela izingane zikaLinono indawo yokuhlala.  • Ukungazwani kukaBafana noPoppie kwenza u-Euthenasia eqe ekhaya.  • UBafana akanasikhathi sezingane zakhe.  • UBafana uba nomona ngokuzithuthukisa kukaPoppie ngokufunda umtshela nokuthi akayeke ukufunda.  • Ukuhluleka kukaBafana ukubhekana nezinkinga zasemzini wakhe kwamenza walifulathela ikhaya. Umphumela wokungawazisi umndeni empilweni kaBafana: • Udlala izin...

Gravity force - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -
  Topics Gravitational Force Inverse Square Law Force Pairs Newton's Third Law Description Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Adjust properties of the objects to see how changing the properties affects the gravitational attraction. Sample Learning Goals Relate gravitational force to masses of objects and distance between objects. Explain Newton's third law for gravitational forces. Design experiments that allow you to derive an equation that relates mass, distance, and gravitational force. Use measurements to determine the universal gravitational constant.

Raw Life, New Hope

By Sandile MHlophe -
Raw Life, New Hope  Life history research aims to provide the reader with an in-depth analysis of the life of the person in which the author of the book has interviewed. This is done through the process of conducting interviews, asking participants to keep record of their daily activities as well as spending some time with the individuals that are being interviewed (Tierney and Lanford 2019: 2). Fiona Ross is an anthropologist who did her own life history research from the year 1991-2004 (Ross 2010: 3), she took her work and wrote a book called Raw Life, New Hope . In this book she mainly focuses on the lives of those who lived in an area known as ‘the park’. She writes about all the challenges residents faced with regards to proper housing conditions due to the laws passed down by apartheid government. When she first arrives, she notes that the residents were staying in squatter camps, it was almost impossible to believe that they would one day escape the terrifying realities th...

A lovely restaurant experience.

By -
The Grass Here I was walking, minding my own business, then a restaurant so immaculate on the outside caught my attention. It had the view of the dam, flying ducks, birds chirping the works, so I thought to myself, let me try this place out. Of course for copyright and legal purposes I will give this place a false name, I will call it "The Grass". Upon entering you meet this wonderful calm, peaceful atmosphere, with almost the entire restaurant staring at you as if you a celebrity (No really they were staring)I do not know if there was something off with my makeup or my boyfriends ridiculous cowboy hat that he was wearing. Anyways, upon entering things were going so smoothly up until the moment of picking a table and decide what we should eat came about and ruined all that. Nothing but confusion First of all, the menu was piece of white A4 paper, typed in romans font size 14 (so much for creativity). There was no prices on the menu, they tried to be clever and use catchy term...

How does practicing gratitude facilitate positivity?

By -
  Often life can get so chaotic to a point where one forgets all the little things, they should be grateful for. Practicing gratitude can give a person a moment of relief.   Being grateful can give someone who is going through an unfortunate life event hope. If there is one or two things a person can be grateful for, it can put a person’s mind at ease that not everything is going terribly and there is some good that they need to be thankful for in their lives. Being thankful allows one to appreciate and when one is filled with a sense of appreciation, nothing but positive emotions start to manifest. Appreciating that at least you still have a life, gives one a chance to be hopeful that things will change for the better and that it is never too late to do something that will have a positive impact in their life. Practicing gratitude can facilitate positive emotions in a sense that you are thankful for something that makes you feel good or gives one a sense of purpose in their...
