The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

Let x (t) be the horizontal distance from you to bird.

Let θ be the angle of elevation of your head.

Then .tan  θ = 20 /x

Differentiating

Sec² = dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt

dθ / dt = -20/x².dx/dt.cos²θ

dx/dt = -2m/s   x = 110m

cos²θ = 110²/ (110²) + (20²) = 12100/12500

dθ / dt = 20/ (110)² x (-2) . 12100/12500

=  20 x 2/12500 = 0.0032 radian/s.

Hence ,

The angle of elevation changes by 0.0032 rad / sec

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

A. What did the neuron say to the muscle say? (Use your basic physiological knowledge, such as the function of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.
