Answer:

Behaviorist

Explanation:

BF skinner was big on behaviorism and produced massive amounts of support for operant conditionining. He literally had a Skinner box where he did experiments with animals regarding conditionining .

At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.30 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is

Triss [41]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Suppose, A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 50.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal.

Given that,

Mass of steel block = 2.30 kg

Mass of ball = 0.500 kg

Length of cord = 50.0 cm

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl$

$v=\sqrt{2gl}$

Put the value into the formula

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times50.0\times10^{-2}}$

$u=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the ball $u_{1}=3.13\ m/s$

The initial speed of the block $u_{2}=0$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the ball after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{2m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=(\dfrac{0.5-2.30}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13$

$v_{1}=-2.01\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of initial direction.

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the block after collision

Using formula of collision

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{1}+(\dfrac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}})u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=(\dfrac{2\times0.5}{0.5+2.30})\times3.13+0$

$v_{2}=1.11\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The speed of the ball after collision is 2.01 m/s.

(b). The speed of the block after collision 1.11 m/s.

A student asks the following question:

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects <em>can</em> be measured.

What is due to acids formed when atmospheric and volcanic gases mix with water

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (For example, w

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Bqv = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

or Eq = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗ to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.
