A group of pedestrians is standing on a corner, waiting for the light to change. A driver runs the red light and narrowly misses

another car. According to work on the two-step process of making attributions, who is most likely to point out how quickly the light changed from amber to red when explaining the near accident?

Here are the options that complete the question;

A) Dan, who is searching in his pocket for his house keys

B) Cynthia, who is mentally rehearsing her shopping list

C) Jeff, who is trying to think of what to cook for dinner

D) Wesley, who is feeling alert and hasn't a concern in the world

Answer:

<u>d. Wesley, who is feeling alert and hasn't a concern in the world</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can reach this conclusion because according to the two-step process of making attributions, we need to consider;

  • how the person's personality could influence their action and then,
  • the situation the person is in.

Hence, since <em>the personality</em> of Wesley is that of one who is feeling alert and hasn't a concern in the world, we would expect him in <em>such a situation</em> to be the one who is most likely to point out how quickly the light changed from amber to red when explaining the near accident.

Four wires are made of the same highly resistive material, cut to the same length, and connected in series. Wire 1 has resistanc
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Explanation:

The 4 wires are connected in series: this means that the same current flow through them, and the voltage of the battery, V0, is equal to the sum of the voltages on each individual resistor:

V_0=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Also, the equivalent resistance of the series circuit is

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

The voltage V2 across wire 2 is given by Ohm's law:

V_2 = R_2 I (1)

where I is the total current in the circuit, which is given by:

I=\frac{V_0}{R_{eq}}=\frac{V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Substituting this into eq. (1), we find an expression for V2:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

A) Expanding. We know this because it has a similar effect with sound. When a car goes by the pitch gets deeper and deeper. It's because you're receiving less waves. Same thing for light but instead of a pitch it's light, and the farther spread the waves - the redder, the closer and more contracted - the bluer

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec
marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

A car is traveling at 39.7 mi/h on a horizontal highway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the coefficient of fricti
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The minimum distance in which the car will stop is

x=167.38m

Explanation:

39.7\frac{mi}{h}*\frac{1km}{0.621371mi}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=17.747\frac{m}{s}

∑F=m*a

∑F=u*m*g

The force of friction is the same value but in different direction of the force moving the car so it can stop so

F=m*a\\a=\frac{F}{m}\\a=\frac{u*m*g}{m}\\a=u*g\\a=0.096*-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

a=-0.9408 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*(x_{f}-x_{o})\\v_{f}=0 \\x_{o}=0\\0=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*x_{f}\\x_{f}=\frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} \\x_{f}=\frac{(-17.747\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2*(-0.9408)} \\x_{f}=167.38m
