Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

Binding of a signaling molecule to which type of receptor leads directly to a change in the distribution of substances on opposi
Mrac [35]

When two sides of a membrane are in contact with each other, the distribution of ions will alter as a result of the binding of a signal molecule to a ligand-gated ion channel.

<h3>What is a ligand-gated ion channel?</h3>

Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are membrane proteins that are structurally integral and feature a pore that permits the controlled passage of particular ions across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient for the permeant ions drives the passive ion flux.

When a chemical ligand, such as a neurotransmitter, attaches to the protein, ligand-gated ion channels open. Changes in membrane potential cause voltage channels to open and close. When a receptor physically deforms, as in the case of pressure and touch receptors, mechanically-gated channels open.

Define one metre length​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1299 792 458 of a second. The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km
