The human circulatory system is closed-that is, the blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart into the arteries is con
strained to a series of continuous, branching vessels as it passes through the capillaries and then into the veins as it returns to the heart. The blood in each of the heart’s four chambers comes briefly to rest before it is ejected by contraction of the heart muscle. If the aorta (diameter da) branches into two equal-sized arteries with a combined area equal to that of the aorta, what is the diameter of one of the branches?
(a) √da (b) da/√2 (c) 2da
(d) da/2
(a) √da (b) da/√2 (c) 2da
(d) da/2

Answer:
(1) passed through the foil
Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.
- When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
- While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
- And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
