Answer:

Janet stops parking in handicapped spaces after she gets a big parking ticket. - Positive Punishment

Peter’s recess is taken away to discourage him from getting into fights with the other children. - Negative Punishment

Ted increases paying his bills on time to avoid a late fee. - Negative Reinforcement

Sally increases the amount of work she completes to receive more pay. - Positive Reinforcement

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, the main principle is that behavior increases or decreases its frequency depending on whether it's reinforced or punished. A behavior can be reinforced by giving something the subject appreciates, like more pay for their work (positive reinforcement) or taking away something they dislike, like late fees (negative reinforcement). Punishments work the same way, you can give something the subject dislikes, like a parking ticket, (positive punishment) or taking away something they like recess for a child. (negative punishment).

Scientists can use spectral analysis of stars to determine which of the following?

RoseWind [281]

I do believe all of these but core elements can be determined by spectroscopy which includes the use of electromagnetic radiation. Both the surface and core temperature can be measured using light. Surface elements can be found because the absorption lines of different elements in the spectra of the star, but I haven't heard anything about using spectral analysis for core elements.

Ten high-technology batteries are tested for 200 hours each. One failed at 20 hours; another failed at 140 hours; all others com

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Failure rate = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at = 140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns) ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns) .......2

= $\frac{2000}{2}$ = 1000

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences= 140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours

and

Failure rate (FR) will be

Failure rate (FR) = 1 ÷ MTBF ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR) = 20%

A 1200 kg sports car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 10 s. What is the average power of the engine?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

3600N

Explanation:

Given: m = 1200kg, Vo = 0m/s, Vf = 30m/s, Δt = 10s

ΣF = ma

we need to find 'a' first, using the definition of 'a' we get equation:

a = (Vf-Vo)/Δt

a = (30m/s)/10s

a = 3 m/s^2

now substitute into top equation

ΣF = ma

Fengine = (1200kg)(3m/s^2)

Fengine = 3600N

On a clear day at a certain location, a 119-V/m vertical electric field exists near the Earth's surface. At the same place, the

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(a) 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) 1015.22 μJ/m^3

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 119 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 5.050 x 10^-5 T

(a) Energy density of electric field = $\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 119\times 119$

= 6.269 x 10^-8 J/m^3 = 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) energy density of magnetic field = $\frac{B^{2}}{2\mu _{0}}$

$=\frac{\left ( 5.05\times 10^{-5} \right )^{2}}{2\times 4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}}$

= 1.01522 x 10^-3 J/m^3 = 1015.22 μJ/m^3
