Answer:

The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell designed to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Most neurons have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites.

Answer:

Neurons are information messengers. They use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system. ... Neurons have three basic parts: a cell body and two extensions called an axon (5) and a dendrite (3)

Which of the following phenomena are due to the electric interaction? (Select all that apply.) surface tension in water friction
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Surface tension in water

Friction between tires and pavement

Dissolution of salt in water

Explanation:

Surface tension in water: It is due to the electrostatic force of attraction (cohesive force) between water molecules.

Friction between tires and pavement: It is due to the attractive force between tires and pavement.

Dissolution of salt in water: The ions of Na ^ + and Cl ^ - separate due to the strong attraction of water molecules.

The motion described here is a projectile motion which is characterized by an arc-shaped direction of motion. There are already derived equations for this type of motions as listed:

Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g
t = 2v₀sinθ/g
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)

where

Hmax = max. height reached by the object in a projectile motion
θ=angle of inclination
v₀= initial velocity
t = time of flight
x = horizontal range
y = vertical height

Part A. 

Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g = (30²)(sin 33°)²/2(9.81)
Hmax = 13.61 m

Part B. In this part, we solve the velocity when it almost reaches the ground. Approximately, this is equal to y = 28.61 m and x = 31.91 m. In projectile motion, it is important to note that there are two component vectors of motion: the vertical and horizontal components. In the horizontal component, the motion is in constant speed or zero acceleration. On the other hand, the vertical component is acting under constant acceleration. So, we use the two equations of rectilinear motion:

y = v₀t + 1/2 at²
28.61 = 30(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t²)
t = 0.839 seconds

a = (v₁-v₀)/t
9.81 = (v₁ - 30)/0.839
v₁ = 38.23 m/s

Part C. 
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
Hmax + 15 = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
13.61 + 15 = xtan33° + (9.81)x²/[2(30)²(cos33°)²]
Solving using a scientific calculator,
x = 31.91 m

La cantidad de materia en un objeto.
Scrat [10]

La respuesta correcta es Masa

Explicación:

Todos los objetos existentes en el universo se componen de materia cuya unidad básica es conocida como átomo. A su vez el átomo se compone de subpartículas que incluyen protones, neutrones y electrones. Además de esto, la cantidad de materia o átomos en un objeto o cuerpo, por ejemplo la cantidad de materia en un balón se conoce como masa. Este factor se mide en unidades como gramos o kilos, por ejemplo, la cantidad de masa en una manzana es de aproximadamente de 150 gr. Finalmente, la masa se diferencia del peso porque en el peso la fuerza gravitacional y no solamente la materia se debe considerar.
