A train is accelerating at a rate of 2 km/hr/s.  If its initial velocity is 20 km/hr, what is its velocity after 30 seconds?

Physics

"2 km/hr/s" means that in each second, its engines can increase its speed by 2 km/hr.

If it keeps doing that for 30 seconds, its speed has increased by 60 km/hr.

On top of the initial speed of 20 km/hr, that's 80 km/hr at the end of the 30 seconds.

This whole discussion is of <em>speed</em>, not velocity. Surely, in high school physics,
you've learned the difference by now. There's no information in the question that
says anything about the train's <em>direction</em>, and it was wrong to mention velocity in
the question.  This whole thing could have been taking place on a curved section
of track. If that were the case, it would have taken a team of ace engineers, cranking
their Curtas, to describe what was happening to the velocity.  Better to just stick with
speed.

Which group of theorists believe that we should study only what we can directly observe and measure?
mote1985 [20]

Learning Through Observation

Albert Bandura believed that associations and direct reinforcements simply could not account for all learning. "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do," he famously wrote in his 1977 book Social Learning Theory.

Instead, he proposed that much of learning takes place through observation. Children observe the actions of those around them, particularly caregivers and siblings, and then imitate these behaviors. In his well-known Bobo doll experiment, Bandura revealed just how easily children could be led to imitate even negative actions. Children who watched a video of an adult beating up a large inflatable doll were then much more likely to copy those same actions when given a chance.

Perhaps most importantly, Bandura noted that learning something does not necessarily result in a change in behavior. Children frequently learning new things through observation, but might not engage in such behaviors themselves until there is actually a need or motivation to utilize the information.

What qualifications do you need to be a research scientist?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The qualifications boil down to: College education.

In most university or industrial research organizations, you might be able to work there as a member of the team who doesn't get much pay or much respect, with research going on all around you directed by other people, after you've gotten you Master's degree.

But you really don't have a shot at leading anything, or having much to say about what's being researched or how, until you have a PhD degree in the field where you'd like to do the research.

(Did I mention how proud I was to be present about 6 weeks ago, in a land far away, when my daughter was awarded a PhD degree in Molecular Biology ? I didn't want to let you get away without hearing about that.)
