Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

Metallic bonds result from interaction of positively charged metal ions with free valence electrons which now forms an electron cloud around the metal ions. Electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the electron cloud holds the metal ions together in the metallic bond.

A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 60 m/s and 80 m/s, respectivel

DerKrebs [107]

This question involves the concepts of projectile motion and launch speed.

(a) The initial launch speed of the projectile is "100 m/s".

(b) The launch angle of the projectile is "53.13°".

<h3>(a) LAUNCH SPEED</h3>

A projectile motion is a motion that takes place on both x and y axes, simultaneously. In this motion the initial launch speed is given by the following formula:

$v_o=\sqrt{v_{ox}^2+v_{oy}^2}$
