Answer:

Interneurons

Explanation:

An interneuron or integrative neuron is a central nervous system neuron, usually small and short axon, that interconnects with other neurons; but never with sensory receptors or muscle fibers, allowing more complex functions.

The interneuron, also called the association neuron, has the function of analyzing sensory information and storing part of it. It also acts on reflex acts, transforming a stimulus in response at the level of the spinal cord. They are located between sensory and motor neurons and are located in the upper nerve centers. Interneurons are multipolar neurons, which connect afferent neurons with efferent neurons in the neuronal or nerve tracts. In other words, they function as a communicational bridge, intercommunicating sensory neurons with motor neurons. Like motor cells, interneurons are only found in the central nervous system. In contrast to the peripheral nervous system, all CNS neurons appear to be interneurons, as they are in communication with many other neurons. However, the term "interneuron" refers to neurons that have axon and dendritic extensions of local extension and not distant, that is, short.

A man jogs at a speed of 1.6 m/s. His dog waits 1.8 s and then takes off running at a speed of 3 m/s to catch the man. How far w

inessss [21]

Answer:

The dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

Explanation:

The first thing to take into account is the speed formula. It is $v=\frac{d}{t}$ , where v is speed, d is distance and t is time. From this formula, we can get the distance formula by finding d, it is $d=v\cdot t$

Now, the distance equation for the man would be:

$d_{man}=v_{man}\cdot t=1.6\cdot t$

The distance equation for the dog would be obtained by the same way with just a little detail. The dog takes off running 1.8s after the man did. So, in the equation we must subtract 1.8 from t.

$d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (t-1.8)=3\cdot (t-1.8)$

For a better understanding, at t=1.8 the dog must be in d=0. Let's verify:

$d_{dog}=v_{dog}\cdot (1.8-1.8)=3\cdot (0)=0$

Now, for finding how far they have each traveled when the dog catches up with the man we must match the equations of each one.

$d_{man}=d_{dog}$

$1.6\cdot t=3\cdot (t-1.8)$

$1.6\cdot t=3\cdot t-5.4$

$1.4\cdot t=5.4$

$t=\frac{5.4}{1.4}$

$t=3.8571s$

The result obtained previously means that the dog catches up with the man 3.8571s after the man started running.

That value is used in the man's distance equation.

$d_{man}=1.6\cdot t=1.6\cdot (3.8571)$

$d_{man}=6.1714m$

Finally, the dog catches up with the man 6.1714m later.

A .422 kg coffee mug rests on a table top 0.63 m above the floor. What is the potential energy of the mug with respect to the fl

kondaur [170]

Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e

Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge $+e$

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge $-e$

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.
