Kiran drove from City A to City B, a distance of 228 mi. She increased her speed by 12 mi/h for the 400-mi trip from City B to C

Answer:

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

Explanation:

The traveled distance can be calculated using this equation:

From city A to city B

228 mi = v · t₁

Where:

v = velocity

t₁ = time it took Kiran to travel the 228 mi from city A to city B

From city B to city C

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

We also know that the entire trip took 14 h, then:

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

So, we have a system of three equations with three unknwons:

228 mi = v · t₁

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

t₁ + t₂ = 14 h

Let´s solve the third equation for t₁:

t₁ = 14 h - t₂

Now let´s replace t₁ in the first equation and solve it for t₂

228 mi = v · t₁

228 mi = v · (14 h - t₂)

228 mi/v - 14 h =  - t₂

t₂ = 14 h - 228 mi/v

Now let´s replace t₂ in the second equation:

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · t₂

400 mi = (v + 12 mi/h) · (14 h - 228 mi/v)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 228 mi + 168 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

400 mi = 14 h · v - 60 mi - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

460 mi = 14 h · v - 2736 mi²/(v · h)

Multiplicate by v both sides of the equation:

460 mi · v = 14 h · v² - 2736 mi²/h

0 = 14 h · v² - 460 mi · v - 2737 mi²/h

Solving the quadratic equation:

v = 38 mi/h

(The other solution of the equation is negative, and therefore discarded)

From city A to city B her speed was 38 mi/h

Suppose that 2 scientists use different measurement systems in their work. What problems might arise if they shared their data?
bixtya [17]
<span>In assumption that there were two scientists who used different measurement systems in their research. The problems that might arise if they shared their data is obviously and primarily error. Errors are recognized and one element in every measure, system and quantity. Error was already even present in the measurement system alone a scientist used and it will furthermore aggregate, when these two different scales are combined the more error escalates in the process. There are two types: random and systematic error.   </span>

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (
Elina [12.6K]

What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.
