The special feature of the upper mantle is the asthenosphere.It is located just below the lithosphere and is made up of rocks that is fluid and can move.The fluidity of these rocks powered the movement of the tectonic plates on the earths crust.Circular convection cycles in the hot,fluid upper mantle rock move the plates over the surface of the earth.

Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a 78.0 Hz to

Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength= $\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}$

= $\frac{343}{78}$ =4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

$x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397$ for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

$x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0$

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

$\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397$

x=1.9015 m

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

katovenus [111]

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.
