Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

$x=V_{o} cos\theta t$ (1)

$y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x=0.25 m$ is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

$V_{o}$ is the pencil's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

$t$ is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

$y_{o}=1 m$ is the initial height of the pencil

$y=0$ is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

$x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t$ (3)

$x=V_{o}t$ (4)

Finding $t$ from (2):

$0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

$x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (7)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{o}=0.55 m/s$

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would

professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

$Circumference=2\pi R$

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

$v=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.

Neon atoms at 245 K pass through a fan that gives each mole of neon gas an additional kinetic energy of 16.0 J. Part A What is t

hjlf

Answer:

246.28 K

Explanation:

The total energy of one mole of gas molecules can be calculated by the formula given below

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times R\times T$

Where R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature.

Put the value of R as 8.314 and temperature as 245 , we get

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times 245$

= 3055.4 J

Add 16 j to it

Total energy of gas molecules = 3055.4 + 16 = 3071.4 J.

If T be the temperature after addition of energy then

$\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times T$ = 3071.4

T = $\frac{2\times 3071.4}{3\times 8.314}$

T = 246.28 K
