Why do functionalists argue that the incest taboo is a nearly universal norm?

1 answer:

6 0

The most appropriate answer is C. the incest taboo facilitates the socialization of children and avoids role confusion.
According to functionalism; the family performs several essential functions fpr society. It socializes children, it provides emotional and practical support for its members, it helps regulate sexual activity and sexual reproduction, and it provides its members with a social identity.

4. Compare how thermal and electrical energy transfer between objects and give an example of how you can

Leokris [45]

Answer:

4) we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can. a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives ligh

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

Explanation:

4) This exercise is asked to give some examples of thermal and electrical energy transfer

the transfer of thermal energy occurs when we grasp a hot or cold body due to the difference in temperature between the body and us there is an exchange of heat, for example when drinking a cup of hot coffee there is a transfer of energy from the cup to the hand .

If we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can.

Electrical transfer occurs, for example, when a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives light.

In all modern electrical appliances there is transformation of electrical energy

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

For example, when you lift a box, the potential energy of the box increases with height, but the energy of the person decreases because it does work that is negative.

In amusement park rides, the energy accumulated in one part of the game generally with height is transformed into energy of movement in another part of the game, but the total energy remains constant.

A girl of mass m1=60 kilograms springs from a trampoline with an initial upward velocity of v1=8.0 meters per second. At height

AleksandrR [38]

a) 5.0 m/s

This first part of the problem can be solved by using the conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the girl just after she jumps is equal to her kinetic energy:

$E_i=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2$

where m1 = 60 kg is the girl's mass and v1 = 8.0 m/s is her initial velocity.

When she reaches the height of h = 2.0 m, her mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

$E_f = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh$

where v2 is the new speed of the girl (before grabbing the box), and h = 2.0m. Equalizing the two equations (because the mechanical energy is conserved), we find

$\frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_2 ^2 + m_1 gh\\v_1^2 = v_2^2 +2gh\\v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 -2gh}=\sqrt{(8.0 m/s)^2-(2)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0 m)}=5.0 m/s$

b) 4.0 m/s

After the girl grab the box, the total momentum of the system must be conserved. This means that the initial momentum of the girl must be equal to the total momentum of the girl+box after the girl catches the box:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_3$

where m2 = 15 kg is the mass of the box. Solving the equation for v3, the combined velocity of the girl+box, we find

$v_3 = \frac{m_1 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}=\frac{(60 kg)(5.0 m/s)}{60 kg+15 kg}=4 m/s$

c) 2.8 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy of the girl after she catches the box is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

$E_i = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2) v_3^2 + (m_1+m_2)gh=\frac{1}{2}(75 kg)(4 m/s)^2+(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2.0m)=2070 J$

While at the maximum height, the speed is zero, so all the mechanical energy is just potential energy:

$E_f = (m_1 +m_2)gh_{max}$

where h_max is the maximum height. Equalizing the two expressions (because the mechanical energy must be conserved) and solving for h_max, we find

$E_i = (m_1+m_2)gh_{max}\\h_{max}=\frac{E_i}{(m_1+m_2)g}=\frac{2070 J}{(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=2.8 m$

What is the original source of hydroelectric energy

tangare [24]

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.
