Answer:

Before: 0 m/s

After: -4 m/s

Explanation:

Before: Since you and your beau started at rest, your beau initial velocity is 0 m/s.

After: Since we have to conserve momentum,

momentum before push = momentum after push.

The momentum before push = 0 (since you and your beau are at rest)

momentum after push = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ were m₁ = your mass = 60 kg, v₁ = your velocity after push = 3 m/s, m₂ = beau's mass = 45 kg and v₂ = beau's velocity.

So, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

m₁v₁ = -m₂v₂

v₂ = -m₁v₁/m₂ = -60 kg × 3 m/s ÷ 45 kg = -4 m/s

So beau moves with a velocity of 4 m/s in the opposite direction

15 POINTS! What is the function of the nervous system? What is the basic unit of the nervous system?

vlada-n [284]

The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body.

The somatic system consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord with muscles and sensory receptors in the skin.

The basic unit of the nervous system is the "nerve cell," called "neuron

A_______covalent bond is when atoms of two different elements form a covalent bond.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation: Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1) Acids have a sour taste , Bases have a bitter taste.

2) Acids turn blue litmus paper into red , Bases turn red litmus paper into blue.

3) Acids react with most metals to form Hydrogen gas but only a few base react with a few metals to form Hydrogen gas

4) Both will conduct electricity. Both acids & bases are good electrolytes. Strong acids & bases conduct more electricity than that of weak acids & bases

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located

zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁ is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

$\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241 \times 10^{-19 } \ C$

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.

How do theories differ from Laws and Principles?

g100num [7]

A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.
