In his psychology class, Professor Adams said that fear of spiders and snakes are common in humans, but fear of automobiles is n

ot. This is true even though far more people are killed by automobiles than by spiders or snakes. According to the professor, the reason for this is that across the 200,000 years that humans have been on the planet, those who feared and avoided poisonous spiders and snakes were more likely to have children and raise them to an age where the children had kids of their own. This example illustrates which perspective of psychology? a. biopsychology b. behavioral c. evolutionary d. developmental

Answer:

Evolutionary

Explanation:

Because our ancestors were afraid of these poisonous spiders and snakes which lead to them to telling their kids of these dangers. Their kids will fear them without even encountering any and this will also be passed on to their future generations.

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.

A bike travels at a constant speed for 4.00 m/s for 5.00 seconds. How far does it go
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

20 metres

Explanation:

<em>Speed</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>distance</em><em> </em><em>÷</em><em> </em><em>time</em>

<em> </em>

<em>s =  \frac{d}{t}</em>

If we substitute the values:

4 =  \frac{d}{5}

<em>20 = d</em>

When 597 J of heat are added to a gas, it expands. Its internal energy increases by 318 J. How much work does the gas do? (Unit=
damaskus [11]

The magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J and the sign is negative so W = -279 J as work is done by the system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the sum of the heat energy added or released from the system with the work done on or by the system. If the heat energy is added to the system to perform a certain work, then the heat energy is taken as positive, while it will be negative when the heat energy is released from the system.

Similarly, in this case, the heat energy of 597 J is added to the system. So the heat energy will be positive, while the gas expansion occurs means work is done by the system.

          ΔU = Q+W

Since ΔU is the change in internal energy which is given as 318 J and the heat energy added to the system is Q = 597 J.

Then the work done by the gas = ΔU - Q = 318 J - 597 J = - 279 J.

As the work is done by the system, so it will be denoted in negative sign and the magnitude of work done by the gas is 279 J.
