BEHAVIOURISM holds the belief that scientific psychology should be studying only obserrvable behaviors. The underlying principle of behaviourism is that behavior is influenced by our interaction with the environment and has little to do with factors internal to us. From which follows the assumption that when we are born, our mind is a blank slate
Answer:
<em>The velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>
Explanation:
Velocity: Velocity of a body can be defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s. velocity is expressed in one of newtons equation of motion, and is given below.
v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1
Where v = the final velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = the height of the ball
<em>Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s</em>
<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>
<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>
<em>v² = 0 + 2×9.8×20</em>
<em>v² = 392</em>
<em>v = √392</em>
<em>v = 19.799 m/s.</em>
<em>Therefore the velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s</em>
Answer:
a) T = 608.22 N
b) T = 608.22 N
c) T = 682.62 N
d) T = 533.82 N
Explanation:
Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg
Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.
So;
To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;
T = mg
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s²
the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)
T = ma + mg
= m (a + g )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)
= 682.62 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)
T = mg - ma
= m (g - a )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)
= 533.82 N
Kinetic energy= 1/2 m v^2
so... 1/2(1350)(12^2)
kinetic energy = 97200Joules
