Describe the difference in using an algorithm and a heuristic to solve a problem.

Physics

BigorU [14]3 years ago

The answer to this is:


When an individual uses an algorithm to solve a problem, they are using a step-by-step procedure that assists them in attempting all possible alternatives for a solution. When an individual is using a heuristic to solve a problem, they are using a guiding principle or rule that assists them in disregarding some solutions while using other alternatives.

This is correct according to e2020


Hope this helped :)

Algorithms are a set of well-defined instructions for carrying out a certain task. It must be sound and complete, while a heuristic is something that helps you look for an answer. Its results are subject to chance. Heuristics only tell you what to look for. Not what to find.

What constant acceleration, in SI units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s? How far has the car traveled when it
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s

time t = 10 s

Let a be the acceleration and s be he distance traveled.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

26.8 = 0 +  a x 10

a = 2.68 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s = 0 + 0.5 x 2.68 x 10 x 10

s = 134 m

As, 1 m = 3.28 ft

So, s = 134 x 3.28 ft

s = 439.6 ft

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

Consider the following list of numbers. 129, 685, 125, 511, 601, 52, 46 The height of a binary search tree is the maximum number
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The height of the tree is three (3) deep

Explanation:

It's 3 deep

Under 129, comes 125 and 685;

Under 125, comes 52 : Under 685, comes 511;

Under 52, comes 46 : Under 511, is 601.

This is illustrated below.

A 100 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. The bungee cord has an un-streched equilibrium length of 10 m, and a spring constant
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

11.78meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 100kg

Length of cord= 10m

Spring constant k= 35N/m

At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy

That is

Us=Ug

Us= 1/2kx^2

Ug= mgh

1/2kx^2= mgh

0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h

0.5*35*100=981h

1750=981h

h= 1750/981

h= 1.78

Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge
