Answer:

C is the answer

Explanation:

The pituitary gland also known as the Master gland controls and regulates secretion of most hormones, when taller people usually grow past expected height this is normally due to the Pituitary gland not properly regulating and it secretes too many growth hormones causing "gigantism."

A 81 kg man is riding on a 40 kg cart traveling at a speed of 2.3 m/s. He jumps off with zero horizontal speed relative to the g
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this case we have to use the Principle of conservation of Momentum:

<em>This principle says that in a system  the total momentum is constant if no external forces act in the system. The formula is:</em>

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

<em>Where:</em>

m_1: Mass of the first object.

m_2: Mass of the second object.

v_1: Initial velocity of the first object.

v_2: Initial velocity of the second object.

u_1: Final velocity of the first object.

u_2: Final velocity of the second object.

In <u>this problem</u> we have:

m_1=81kg\\m_2=40kg\\v_1_2=2.3\frac{m}{s}

u_1=0\frac{m}{s}

Observation: v_1_2: Is because the system has the same initial velocity.

First we have to find u_2,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

We can rewrite it as:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

Replacing with the data:

(m_1+m_2)v_1_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2\\\\(81kg+40kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=81kg(0\frac{m}{s})+40kg(u_2)\\\\(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}=40kg(u_2)\\\\\frac{(121kg)2.3\frac{m}{s}}{40kg}=u_2\\\\\frac{278.3}{40}\frac{m}{s}=u_2\\\\6.96\frac{m}{s}=u_2

We found the final velocity of the cart, but the problem asks for the resulting change in the cart speed, this means:

\Delta v=u_2-v_2\\\Delta v=6.96\frac{m}{s}-2.3\frac{m}{s}\\\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

Then, the resulting change in the cart speed is:

\Delta v= 4.66\frac{m}{s}

How does heat conduction work
Musya8 [376]
Heat energy can move through a substance by conduction. Metals are good conductors of heat, but non-metals and gases are usually poor conductors of heat. Poor conductors of heat are called insulators. Heat energy is conducted from the hot end of an object to the cold end.
