Answer: The answer is A). filter information and tell their superiors only what they think the boss wants to hear.

N.B "tell their bosses everything they know about the subject" is another option; it is not a continuation of option A

Explanation: Subordinates would do this because they want a reward or try to exaggerate their performances to their bosses. Also, subordinates might not want to talk with the boss because the boss doesn't know how to communicate in a way that the subordinate can trust.

Answer: Option A - Subordinates may FILTER INFORMATION AND TELL THEIR SUPERIORS ONLY WHAT THEY THINK THE BOSS WANTS TO HEAR

Explanation:

Upward communication involves the flow or passage of information from the front line employees to managers, then to supervisors and then to the directors of the organization.

Some advantages of the upward communication flow are:

*** Managers can obtain feedback from their employees which can help to enhance the development of the organization.

*** It helps in introducing new policies. Frontline employees who directly do the work daily can furnish the managers on information regarding the workability of certain principles and procedures. Therefore employees are key to formation of new policies or erasing of obsolete ones.

*** It assists in motivating employees. Since this style of communication allows front line employees or lower level staff to express their opinions to the upper level staff.they (the subordinates)then become motivated to work harder towards meeting the organization's targets since they are offered a sense of belonging.

*** It provides avenue for reasonable and constructive suggestion.

The disadvantages of the upward communication are:

**** Flattery. So as to convince the upper level staff or the bosses, the lower level staff may involve flattery.In this process, the subordinates may hide or cover the true situation of things and give out haphazard or half-baked information to their bosses

**** Indiscipline: A few times, directly communicate to their bosses and bypass the chain of command. This is simply indiscipline.

**** The risk of distortion of messages: This form of communication can enable subordinates to tamper with the messages. They do this due to the fear or speculation that they may encounter problems if they reveal the true position of things to their bosses.

Going back to the question - Because communication is biased when flowing upwards, subordinates FILTER INFORMATION AND TELL THEIR SUPERIORS ONLY WHAT THEY THINK THE BOSS WANTS TO HEAR

This is in confirmation or agreement of the first disadvantage of the upward communication flow which talked about "flattery".

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

$V = A*t$

Where:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume:

$V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}$

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

$m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g$

Finally, with the Avogadros number ( $N_{A}$ ) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

$N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms$

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

List two things that technological systems have in common.

Sphinxa [80]

They all share the way that they are fundamentally designed: if they are quite complex, they will share the same basic logic foundations, like the way that the programming languages work. They also all share the method of construction and common and fundamental electronic components, like resistors, capacitors and transistors. As we humans design them, they make logical sense to at least someone, and probably only discounting the internet, you can probably draw logic diagrams and whatever to represent how they work.

Because they are designed by Humans, in a way they all mimic how our brains and society work. Also, as yet there are no truly intelligent technological systems, and are only able to react to a situation how they have been programmed to do so.

All air-conditioning units must be grounded electrically to

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Prevent electrical shock

Grounding is a non current carrying conductor mainly used to guard against hazards due to leakage in electric circuits

Explanation:

The grounding refers to the connection of an electrical equipment exposed metallic parts to the ground to serve as a source of current flow in the event of an insulation failure will cause the fuses to trip thereby isolating or removing electric power from the device

Grounding also prevents the accumulation of static electricity which can be a source of fire in inflammable areas.
