Carla is babysitting her 2-year-old nephew for the first time. While her back is turned just for a moment, he touches the pan sh

e just took out of the oven. He pulls his finger away quickly, and a few moments later begins to scream. Why is his screaming delayed (in comparison to his response of pulling away his finger)?

Answer:

Screaming is an emotional response triggered by the brain which receives information about the pain later as compared to pulling away of finger which is a reflex action facilitated by the spinal cord that has a quicker-time to response.

Explanation:

Reflex action happens when part of our body comes to contact with an object which can cause harm and you tend to quickly withdraw that part of the body.Reflex action happens quicker before the brain gets the time to process information about the harm.

When the baby touched the hot pan, at point of contact, skin receptors send nerve impulses to the spinal cord. Interneurons in the spinal cord relay a response to motor neurons to stimulate muscle contraction making the baby to pull his finger away.This happens so fast before the brain receives the message later to trigger emotional response(screaming).

What is the momentum of a 0.1-kg mass moving with a speed of 5 m/s
Andrej [43]
This question is wrong because in momontum we will write acceleration instead of speed.     suppose acceleration is 5m/s2 then 
 P= ma 
                then put values

Why is the curve between 1950 and 1980 relatively flat and centered around zero degrees difference from the baseline? (Hint: how
zimovet [89]

Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.

Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !

What is the maximum angular momentum Lmax that an electron with principal quantum number n = 2 can have? Express your answer in
butalik [34]

Answer:

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ

Given:

Principle quantum number, n = 2

Solution:

To calculate the maximum angular momentum, L_{max}, we have:

L_{max} = \sqrt {l(1 + l)}                              (1)

where,

l = azimuthal quantum number or angular momentum quantum number

Also,

n = 1 + l

2 = 1 + l

l = 1

Now,

Using the value of l = 1 in eqn (1), we get:

L_{max} = \sqrt {1(1 + 1)} = \sqrt 2

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ
