Answer:

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions  present in the bones

Digiron [165]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 5s

Acceleration  = 4m/s²

Initial velocity  = 2m/s

Unknown

Final speed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

         v = u + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

 So, insert the parameters and solve;

         v  = 2 + 4 x 5  = 22m/s
