Thomson discovered that cathode rays are really electrons.

One day Thomson found was that when he connected these big long hollow cathode ray tubes to batteries, a beam of light would go from one end to another. Since he had a lot of time on his hands, he decided to figure out what the deal was with the light. After all, if there was nothing in the tube to start with, where’d the light come from? He figured, it must come from the electrodes – since the electrodes were made of atoms, the atoms must somehow be coming apart.

Among other things, Thomson got a magnet and held it near the beam. When he did this, he found that the beam would bend toward the positive side of the magnet and away from the negative side. From this, he figured that the beam must contain very small particles from the atom and that they must have negative charge.

This led directly to his “plum pudding” model of the atom, named after a dessert that nobody has ever heard of. Think of a chocolate chip brownie, instead. His idea was that the dough in the chocolate chip brownie made up most of the atom and that it had positive charge. The chips represented the little tiny bits of negative charge that made up the light he was messing around with – unlike the dough, they could leave the atom if you gave them a shove (with a battery, for example).

J.J Thompson, by carrying out a series of experiments with a cathode ray, realized that electric charge is composed of many smaller particles; particles that are also smaller than atoms. The experiment showed that these particles are mobile; therefore, he proposed the idea that electrons are mobile in the atom.

He suggested a plum pudding or watermelon model where the edible red part indicates positive charge and negative indicates seeds. Also the no. of protons and electrons in an atom were equal

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)
