Attachment of myelin to the surface of some neurons occurs via the interactions of transmembrane adhesion molecules expressed on the myelin membrane with receptors on the target axons. Several human peripheral neuropathies are associated with mutations in genes encoding theses myelin-associated proteins that disrupt myelin-axon attachment, (1) Explain the symptoms this loss of peripheral myelination might be expected cause and why, given the function of myelin in the nervous system. (2) Propose a hypothesis to explain why only peripheral and not central nervous system symptoms are observed in these diseases.

Two cannons are mounted as shown in the drawing and rigged to fire simultaneously. They are used in a circus act in which two clowns serve as human cannonballs. The clowns are fired toward each other and collide at a height of 1.05 m above the muzzles of the cannons. Clown A is launched at θA = 76.0° angle, with a speed v0A = 9.50 m /s. The horizontal separation between the clowns as they leave the cannons is d = 5.55 m. Find the launch speed v0B and the launch angle θB (>45.0°) for clown B. magnitude m/s direction °.
