Sampson is a dolphin trainer who trains his dolphins to perform tasks by blowing a high-pitched whistle immediately after the do

lphins do the task. The dolphins enjoy the sound of the whistle because it previously was paired with the fish they were given to eat. Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a ________ reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Answer:

Based on this, you know that Sampson is using the whistle as a <u><em>secondary </em></u> reinforcer to train the dolphins.

Explanation:

Secondary Reinforcement can be described as a condition in which  a stimulus initiates a behavior after being previously associated with a primary reinforcer. A secondary reinforcement is a stimulus that satisfies basic survival instinct such as food, drinks, and clothing.

The same phenomenon was being used by Samson to train his dolphins to perform tasks. The dolphins enjoyed the sound of the whistle because previously that sound was paired to them getting their food.

What impact does the coriolis effect have on the direction the air travels?
Likurg_2 [28]

The Coriolis Effect can be seen in action in the general circulation of the atmosphere. The winds at all latitudes to the north of 0° deflect to the right of their intended path in the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect does not impact the wind speed, only the wind direction.

1. The basic building block of matter are atoms. Every atom is basically a tiny sphere. Every atom is composed of 2 regions, the outer part of the sphere is called the electron cloud and accounts for about 99.95% of the volume of an atom.

2. The electron cloud is the region of an atom in which the electron(s), are found. Electron(s), are tiny particles with a -1 electrical charge and almost no mass. Electricity is electron(s), flowing though a conductor, usually metal.  

3. Every atom is composed of 2 regions. The very tiny center part of the spherical atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus accounts for about 99.95% of the mass of the atom even though it has almost no volume.

4. Every atom has a nucleus. The nucleus contains 2 different types of particles. The particle with the +1 electrical charge is called the proton. It has almost 2000 times more mass than an electron. The number of protons in the nucleus determine how many electrons the neutral atom has and all of the chemical reactions the atom can do.  

5. Every atom has a nucleus. The nucleus contains 2 different types of particles. The particle with no (0) electrical charge is called the neutron. This particle is electrically neutral. The +1 charged protons would repel each other and destroy the nucleus if the neutrons were not neutralizing the repulsive force between the protons.  

6. When graphing how the experimental “effect” depends on the experimental “cause”, the graph can show either a direct relationship or an inverse relationship or no relationship. If the “effect” (dependent variable) value increases when we make the “cause” (independent variable) value increase, then we call this a direct relationship.  

7. When graphing how the experimental “effect” depends on the experimental “cause”, the graph can show either a direct relationship or an inverse relationship or no relationship. If the “effect” (dependent variable) value decreases when we make the “cause” (independent variable) value increase, then we call this an inverse relationship.  

8. When graphing how the experimental “effect” depends on the experimental “cause”, the graph can show either a direct relationship or an inverse relationship or no relationship. If the “effect” (dependent variable) value doesn’t change when we make the “cause” (independent variable) value increase, then we call this no relationship.  

9. An experiment needs an experimental control to validate its results. The experimental control can be one of 2 things. The experimental control can be a set of experimental conditions we repeat several times throughout the experiment. Or the experimental control can be a set of conditions which other experimenters have used and is considered “normal” or “state of the art.”

10. A variable is something which can change during an experiment. It works best when we only let 2 variables change. All the rest are kept constant and are called controlled variable(s).
