In the famous gold foil experiment, radioactive particles were fired at a very thin sheet of gold foil. Most of the particles pa

ssed straight through the gold foil. Only about 1 in every 8000 particles were deflected. The gold foil experiment showed the researchers that the atom is made mostly of
a.protons.
b.neutrons.
c.electrons.
d.empty space.

D. empty space is the answer that is just what i think

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The gold foil experiment is the experiment given by Rutherford.

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded alpha-particles on it. He thought that the alpha particles would pass through because there is a lot of empty space in an atom. But to his surprise, most of the particles passed straight through, few deflected their path and very few returned back straight.

He concluded that an atom consist of a very little charged location which carries the charge same as that of the alpha particle (positive charge). He named that part as nucleus of the atom. Many particles passed straight through the atom, he concluded that an atom consists of a lot of empty spaces.

Hence, the correct statement is Option d.

A projectile is launched from ground level at angle u and speed v0 into a headwind that causes a constant horizontal acceleratio
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Launch angle =u

Initial Speed is v_0

Horizontal acceleration is a_x=a

At maximum height velocity is zero therefore

v_f=v_i-gt

0=v_0\sin u-gt

t=\frac{v_0\sin u}{g}

Total time of flight T=2t=\frac{2v_0\sin u}{g}

During this time horizontal range is

R=v_o\cos u\cdot 2t-\frac{a(2t)^2}{2}

R=\frac{2v_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g}-\frac{2av_0^2\sin ^u}{g^2}

For maximum range \frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2\cos 2u}{g}-\frac{4av_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2}{g}\left [ \cos 2u-\frac{a}{g}\sin 2u\right ]=0

\tan 2u=\frac{g}{a}

u=\frac{1}{2}tan ^{-1}\frac{g}{a}

(b)If a =10% g

a=0.1g

thus u=\frac{1}{2}tan^{-1}\frac{g}{0.1g}

u=42.14^{\circ}

A 0.25 kg steel ball is tied to the end of a string and then whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed v. The length of t
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force

T + mg = m v² / r

4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62

6.45 = .25 v² / .62

v² = 16

v = 4 m /s .

Bonds: Including Carbon Compounds Quick Check
Sever21 [200]

Metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals, such as conductivity. This is because the bonds can shift because valence electrons are held loosely and move freely. That is option C.

<h3>What are metallic bonds?</h3>

Metallic bonds are defined as those bonds that causes the electrostatic attraction between metal cations and delocalized electrons of another metallic substance.

The characteristics of a metallic compound with metallic bonds include the following:

  • strength,

  • malleability,

  • ductility,

  • thermal and electrical conductivity,

  • opacity and

  • luster.

The metallic bonds of these metallic atoms gives them conductivity features because the electrons from the outer shells of the metal atoms are delocalised , and are free to move through the whole structure.

Some bats have specially shaped noses that focus ultrasound echolocation pulses in the forward direction. Why is this useful?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The evolutionary success of bats is accredited to their ability, as the only mammals, to fly and navigate in darkness by echolocation, thus filling a niche exploited by few other predators. Over 90% of all bat species use echolocation to localize obstacles in their environment by comparing their own high frequency sound pulses with returning echoes. The ability to localize and identify objects without the use of vision allows bats to forage for airborne nocturnal insects, but also for a diverse range of other food types including motionless perched prey or non-animal food items.

The agility and precision with which bats navigate and forage in total darkness, is in large part due to the accuracy and flexibility of their echolocation system. The echolocation clicks of the few echolocating Pteropodidae (Rousettus) are fundamentally different from the echolocation sounds produced in the larynx that we focus on here, and thus not part of this review. Many studies have shown that bats adapt their echolocation calls to a variety of conditions, changing duration and bandwidth of each call and the rate at which calls are emitted in response to changing perceptual demands . In recent years the intensity and directionality of echolocation signals has received increasing research attention and it is becoming evident that these parameters also play a major role in how bats successfully navigate and forage. To perceive an object in its surroundings, a bat must ensonify the object with enough energy to return an audible echo. Hence, the intensity and duration of the emitted signal act together to determine how far away a bat can echolocate an object. Equally important is signal directionality. Bat echolocation calls are directional, i.e., more call energy is focused in the forward direction than to the sides (Simmons, 1969; Shimozawa et al., 1974; Mogensen and Møhl, 1979; Hartley and Suthers, 1987, 1989; Henze and O'Neill, 1991). An object detectable at 2 m directly in front of the bat may not be detected if it is located at the same distance but off to the side. Consequently, at any given echolocation frequency and duration, it is the combination of signal intensity and signal directionality that defines the search volume, i.e., the volume in space where the bat can detect an object.

The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge about intensity and directionality of bat echolocation calls, and show how both are adapted to habitat and behavioral context. Finally, we discuss the importance of active motor-control to dynamically adjust both signal intensity and directionality to solve the different tasks faced by echolocating bats.
