V square - u square = 2as. here s=distance
here v squared= 18 squared=324
u squared=12 squared=144
324-144=2×36×s
180=72s
hence distance=2.5

What are common features of both the MMPI-2 and CPI? Select all that apply.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: D

Both MMPI-2 and CPI check for serious personality disorders.

MMPI - 2

MMPI - 2 stands for Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2. It is the most widely used psychometric test to measure adult psychopathology. MMPI-2 differentiates people with hypochondriasis from normal one. MMPI-2 is able to detect unconsciously somatizing or consciously malingering in patients.

CPI

CPI stands for california psychological inventory. It is a self report inventory created by Harrision G. This test used to test the people, which are 13 years and older. It takes 40 minutes to complete the test. CPI works on "folk-concepts" which means an ordinary people can use it to describe other people around him.

Three equal negative point charges are placed at three of the corners of a square of side d. What is the magnitude of the net el

Rina8888 [55]

<span>this may help you
As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄
and since k = 8.99e9N·m²/C²,
E = 1.789e10N·m²/C² * Q / d² </span>

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

$t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

$E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string. Wave 1 is described by y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt), while wave 2 is descri

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

6) Wave 1 travels in the positive x-direction, while wave 2 travels in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

What matters is the part $kx \pm \omega t$ , the other parts of the equation don't affect time and space variations. We know that when the sign is - the wave propagates to the positive direction while when the sign is + the wave propagates to the negative direction, but <em>here is an explanation</em> of this:

For both cases, + and -, after a certain time $\delta t$ ( $\delta t >0$ ), the displacement <em>y</em> of the wave will be determined by the $kx\pm\omega (t+\delta t)$ term. For simplicity, if we imagine we are looking at the origin (x=0), this will be simply $\pm \omega (t+\delta t)$ .

To know which side, right or left of the origin, would go through the origin after a time $\delta t$ (and thus know the direction of propagation) we have to see how we can achieve that same displacement <em>y</em> not by a time variation but by a space variation $\delta x$ (we would be looking where in space is what we would have in the future in time). The term would be then $k(x+\delta x)\pm\omega t$ , which at the origin is $k \delta x \pm \omega t$ . This would mean that, when the original equation has $kx+\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x>0$ for $k\delta x+\omega t$ to be equal to $kx+\omega\delta t$ , and when the original equation has $kx-\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x$ for $k\delta x-\omega t$ to be equal to $kx-\omega \delta t$

<em>Note that their values don't matter, although they are a very small variation (we have to be careful since all this is inside a sin function), what matters is if they are positive or negative and as such what is possible or not .</em>

<em />

In conclusion, when $kx+\omega t$ , the part of the wave on the positive side ( $\delta x>0$ ) is the one that will go through the origin, so the wave is going in the negative direction, and viceversa.
