Nhen you are finished with the experiment, complete the following data analysis and submit your answe 1. Determine the volume of the box and the block. 2. Determine the ratio of the block to the box: volume of block (L)(W)(H) volume of bosc (DWH) 1. Multiply this number by 100 to turn it into a percent. 2. Complete this statement The volume of the block is percent of the volume of the box. 3. Determine the ratio of the number of hits to the number of shots: number of bits 100 shots 1. Multiply this number by 100 to turn it into a percent. 2. Complete this statement: The block was hit percent of the time. 4. Compare the results of step 2 to the results of step 3. Are the percentages similar? 5. Write a conclusion discussing the following items: 1. Based on your findings, do you think Rutherford's hypothesis was reasonable? 2. Restate Rutherford's hypothesis and describe how you tested it. 3. State whether your results support the hypothesis. If they do not, can you suggest some error in exp procedure (other than general human error) that might explain it? 4. Finally, explain how this experiment confirms the nuclear model of the atom and the idea that most of empty space.

These are just the answer key. You will have to fill in the lower half of the questions yourself. I did not consider 32% and 1.6% approximately the same but the answer key did.

Hope this helps:)

Explanation:

The box’s measurements are: length = 50 cm, width = 25 cm, and height = 25 cm. The measurements of the block are: length = 10 cm, width = 10 cm, and height is 5 cm.

Out of 100 marble drops or shots, the marble hit the block 32 times.

volume of the box = 50 × 25 × 25 = 31250 cm 3

volume of the block = 10 × 10 × 5 = 500 cm 3

Ratio = 500/31250 = 0.016 × 100 = 1.6%

The volume of the block is 1.6% of the volume of the box

Ratio = 32 hits/100 shots = 0.32 × 100 = 32%

The block was hit 32% of the time.

Percentages will be similar and both be small percentages

Answers will vary.
