Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.

When electrons are shared unequally a/an bond is formed

givi [52]

Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other.

A rope with a mass density of 1 kg/m has one end tied to a vertical support. You hold the other end so that the rope is horizont

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$v' = 2.83 m/s$

Explanation:

Velocity of wave in stretched string is given by the formula

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

here we know that

T = 4 N

also we know that linear mass density is given as

$\mu = 1 kg/m$

so we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{4}{1}} = 2 m/s$

now the tension in the string is double

so the velocity is given as

$v' = \sqrt{\frac{8}{1}} = 2\sqrt2 m/s$

$v' = 2.83 m/s$

During the spin cycle of a washing machine, the clothes stick to the outer wall of the barrel as it spins at a rate as high as 1

Darya [45]

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity in radians)

a = $\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = $\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

a = $\frac{49^{2}}{0.26}$

a = 9234.6 (m/ $s^{2}$ )

Wow! That's fast!

We now have our answers for a and b:

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * $10^{3}$ (m/ $s^{2}$ )

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

Which statement describes a digital signal?

hoa [83]

Answer:

"It is made of numbers" describes the digital signal.

Explanation:

The digital signal are the electrical signal which is translated into the pattern of bits. The digital signal are always discrete value in every sampling point. The conversion of the programming into the stream or the binary sequence like 0s and 1s. The digital signals never gets weaken over distance but the analog signal gets weakened or impair at distance. The digital signals are consists of one or two value, Timing graph are square waves.
