<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Cohesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type.

<h2>Adhesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of different type by intermolecular forces.

A good example of both is water that can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds (cohesion) and can also stick to a glass due to adhesion.

So, while Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, Adhesion is the interaction between the surfaces of different bodies.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him

juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal direction

$m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}$

$v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

What determines how soon one action potential can follow another?

belka [17]

It is through biopsychological feedback.

A class of chemical called a neurotransmitter is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move toward the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell.
