ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. A person walks along

a road 3.0 miles and rests. Then taking another road, he travels 5.00 miles; and switching to a dirt path, he walks 4.000 miles before arriving at his destination. How far has he traveled?

To find the total number of miles traveled by a person, we add the distance that he has traveled: 3.0 + 5.00 + 4.000. 

Now, to find the accurate number of significant figures when adding measurements, the basic rule for addition is to use the least number of decimal places when reporting the result.

Now, since 3.0 has the least number of decimal places, we report the sum with 1 decimal place and have 12.0 miles as the total distance traveled by the person to reach his destination.

Answer: 12.0 miles

What makes psychoanalysis different from behaviorism?
svp [43]
Psychoanalysis is a form of therapy that treats mental disorders through different ways, such as dream interpretation. It is a way of looking into the line between conscious and <span>unconsciousness </span>

Behaviorism is a theory that says that mental disorders are treated better with altering the persons behavior patterns.

I think they're different because behaviorism is just simply a theory and not actually a form of therapy.

Hopefully that helps you tell them apart!

If the x-component of a force vector is 5.17 newtons and its y-component is 8.80 newtons, then what is its magnitude?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

10.21 N

Explanation:

As the force is a vector, it can be decomposed in two components perpendicular each other, so there is no projection of one component in the direction of the other.

When divided in this way, the magnitude of the resultant vector can be found simply applying trigonometry, as follows:

F² = Fx² + Fy² ⇒ F = √(Fx)²+(Fy)²

Replacing by Fx= 5.17 N and Fy = 8.8 N, we get:

F = √(5.17)²+(8.8)² =10.21 N

The presence of which element would indicate that a star is going through a high-mass star life cycle as opposed to a low-mass s
Delicious77 [7]
Celestial bodies in the universe like the stars, gain their energy by nuclear fusion. This is a nuclear reaction that emits radiation by joining subatomic particles together to yield another new element. This cause by instability of certain elements due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. The most stable element there is, is Fe-26. Elements lighter than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fusion (combining), while elements heavier than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fission (breaking). 

So that is how the Sun gains its energy. It is very abundant in hydrogen, such that hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion. Two protons from two hydrogen atoms combine at very very high temperatures to form a Helium atom. Therefore, a high-mass star life is very abundant in Hydrogen, while a low-mass star life is very abundant in Helium.
