What does a neuron look like?
A neuron comprises a cell body with a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long thin hair-like parts emerge. Every neuron has a solitary long part called the axon, and some little, short expanded parts called dendrite. An individual nerve cell is known as a neuron, it very well might be up to a meter long.

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

An object of mass 1 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 m s-1 collides with, and sticks to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg. Then they both move off together in the same straight line. Calculate the total momentum just before the impact and just after the impact. Also, calculate the velocity of the combined object.
