This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are called "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time. (use t for time. express your answer in milliamps and seconds.) i(t) =_
