one of these sub-parts.

37. The atom is divisible and contains three smaller particles in it. On the basis of experimental observations, different
models have been proposed for the structure of an atom. Firstly Thomson’s gives the atomic model which is known
as raisin pudding model. According to this model atom can be considered as a large sphere of uniform positive
charge with a number of small negatively charged electrons scattered throughout it. After the Thomson model,
Rutherford discover the nucleus of atom in our experiment.

(v) Who was known as the ‘Father’ of nuclear physics?

38. The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and embedded in an inter-cellular matrix. The nature of matrix
differs in concordance with the function of the particular connective tissue. Blood is a type of connective tissue.
Blood flows and transports gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials to different parts of the body.
Bone is another example of a connective tissue. It is a strong and non-flexible tissue. Two bones arc connected to
each other by another type of connective tissue called the ligament. Another type of connective tissue, cartilage,
has widely spaced cells. Areolar connective tissue is found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels and
nerves and in the bone marrow. It fills the space inside the organs, supports internal organs and helps in repair of
tissues. Fat-storing adipose tissue is also a type of connective tissue.
(i) What are the three loose connective tissues?
(ii) What are areolar tissue junctions?
(iii) What is the function of fibroblast in areolar tissue?
(iv) What is present inside plasma?


o
(v) What is adipose tissue?

39. Basically momentum is a measure of quantity of motion possessed by a body. It helps to measure the impact
of force exerted by a body on another. Consider an example a car and a bicycle are moving with same velocity.
The impact of force exerted by this car on an object is much greater than that of bicycle. This is because car has
greater mass than bicycle. Similarly, when two trucks of same mass, moving with velocity v1 and v2 (v1 > v2), strike
a surface, the impact of force exerted by truck moving with greater velocity is more.
Both the above cases make it clear that the quantity of motion possessed by a body is directly proportional to its
mass as well as velocity. Momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
The rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the unbalanced force acting on it, and the
momentum change occurs in the direction of applied force.
(i) Which quantity is proportional to the momentum of a body of given mass ?
(ii) How much force acts on a body whose momentum (p) is constant with time (t)?
(iii) What happens if velocity is doubled?
(iv) Can objects with different masses have the same momentum?


o
(v) What is the mathematical expression of Newton’s second law?
