I don't know your options but it's probably an insulator.
Ionic bond: it is also called "electrovalent bond". It is "a type of chemical bond that can often form between metal and non-metal ions through electrostatic attraction";
Covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding, "characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds";
Metallic bond: "the chemical bond, which is characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms in a usually stable crystalline".
Answer:
-26 m/s (backward)
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.
In fact, the total momentum momentum of the cannon + ball system must be conserved before and after the explosion.
Before the explosion, they are both at rest, so the total momentum is zero:
p = 0
After the explosion, the total momentum is:
where
M = 1.5 kg is the mass of the cannon
m = 0.52 kg is the mass of the ball
v = +75 m/s is the velocity of the ball
V is the velocity of the cannon
Since the momentum is conserved, we can equate the two expressions:
And solving, we find V:
where the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the ball.
Electroreception is limited to aquatic environments because on here is the resistivity of the medium is low enough for electric currents to be generated as the result of electric fields of biological origin. In air, the resistivity of the environment is so high that electric fields from biological sources do not generate a significant electric current. Electroreceptor are found in a number of species of fish, and in at least one species of mammal, the Duck-Billed platypus.
