Why are Watson’s experiments considered controversial?

John Watson's experiments are considered controversial because D. They would be considered unethical today.

The Little Albert experiment exposed children, usually infants, first to things like rabbits, puppies, and hairballs. The children did not show fear of the items. However, once they were exposed to sudden loud sounds, rats, and stressful controlled situations. The goal of this experiment was to "condition phobia into a mentally stable child". However, these experiments are also failed in modern scientific testing. However, that doesn't make the Little Albert experiment as controversial as the unethical aspect does.

Hope I could help!

sergey [27]

Answer:

y = 0.1 m

Explanation:

The electrical power for point loads is

V = $k \sum \frac{q_i}{r_i}$ k Sum qi / ri

in this case

V = k ( $- \frac{q_1}{r_1 } + \frac{q_2}{r_2}$ )

indicate that V = 0

$\frac{q_1}{r_1} = \frac{q_2}{r_2}$

r₂ = $\frac{q_2}{q_1} r_1$

the distance r1 is

r₁ = y -0

the distance r2

r₂ = 0.14 -y

we substitute

0.14 - y = $\frac{10}{25}$ y

y ( $\frac{10}{25} + 1$ ) = 0.14

y 1.4 = 0.14

y = 0.14 / 1.4

y = 0.1 m

Answer:

Part a)

$KE = 101.4 J$

Part b)

$N = 0.043 revolution$

Part c)

F = 2.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the rotational kinetic energy of the merry go round is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}84.4(\omega^2)$

here we know that

$\omega = 2\pi(\frac{14.8}{60})$

$\omega = 1.55 rad/s$

Now we have

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(84.4)(1.55^2)$

$KE = 101.4 J$

Part b)

Now we know that work done due to torque = change in kinetic energy

$W = KE_f - KE_i$

$\tau (2N\pi) = 101.4 - 0$

$375(2\pi N) = 101.4$

$N = 0.043 revolution$

Part c)

In order to stop it in four revolutions we have

$\tau(2\pi N) = \Delta KE$

$FR(2\pi N) = 101.4$

$F(1.5)(2\pi \times 4) = 101.4$

F = 2.7 N
