Because of the structure of the electron cloud, as particles were radiated onto a gold atom, what was observed during rutherford's experiment? a. electron cloud absorbed the particlesb. particles that struck the nucleus went straightc. particles that struck the nucleus are absorbedd. electron cloud allowed the particles to pass through

(d) Electron cloud allowed the particles to pass through

Explanation:

Rutherford observed that, unexpectedly, most alpha particles went through the plate following an almost straight path (passing through). Only a few that struck the relatively small but massive nucleus were deflected at large angles.

6/12=1/2

step-by-step explanation:

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
