Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is  implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A  syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to  conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If  A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

[ b) The time of reverberation of an empty hall without and with 500 audiences is 1.5 sec and 1.4 sec respectively. Find the rev
Lilit [14]

The reverberation time with 800 audiences is 0.875 seconds.

<h3>Reverberation time with 800 audience</h3>

R₁V₁ = R₂V₂

where;

  • R₁ is the reverberation time with 400 audience
  • R₂ is the reverberation time with 800 audience
  • V₁ is initial volume
  • V₂ is final volume

R₂ = R₁V₁/V₂

R₂ = (1.4 x 500) / 800

R₂ = 0.875 seconds

Thus, the reverberation time with 800 audiences is 0.875 seconds.
