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.

A crate lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 22.5 ∘ to the horizontal, with μk = 0.19.

A) $2.03 m/s^2$

Let's start by writing the equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the incline:

Parallel:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma$ (1)

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=22.5^{\circ}$

$\mu_k = 0.19$ is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

a is the acceleration

Perpendicular:

$R-mg cos \theta =0$ (2)

From (2) we find

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma$

Solving for a,

$a=g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta = (9.8)(sin 22.5)-(0.19)(9.8)(cos 22.5)=2.03 m/s^2$

B) 5.94 m/s

We can solve this part by using the suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Here we have

v = ?

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=2.03 m/s^2$

s = 8.70 m

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(2.03)(8.70)}=5.94 m/s$

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$v_{s}=65.2km/h$

Explanation:

Given data

Flight distance S=4890 km

Time difference Δt=t₂-t₁=40 min

Air speed of plane=980 km/h

To find

Speed of jet stream

Solution

When moving in the same direction as the jet stream time taken as t₁=d/(v+vs),v is velocity of plane and vs is velocity of plane

While moving in opposite direction t₂=d/(v+vs)

$t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{d}{(v-v_{s}) } - \frac{d}{(v+v_{s}) }\\t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{d(v+v_{s})-d(v-v_{s})}{(v-v_{s})(v+v_{s})} \\t_{2}-t_{1}=\frac{2dv_{s}}{(v)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2} }\\0.666667h=\frac{2(4890km)v_{s}}{(980km/h)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2} }\\0.666667((980km/h)^{2} -(v_{s})^{2})=9780v_{s}\\640267-0.666667(v_{s})^{2}-9780v_{s}=0\\0.666667(v_{s})^{2}+9780v_{s}-640267=0$

Apply quadratic formula to solve for vs

$v_{s}=65.2km/h$

Why does a car slide when it rolls over an icy patch on a road?

Rainbow [258]

Hello. The answer, though I don't know what options you need to be answered, is that there is less friction between the car tires and the ice, than when they are on the road. Causing the car to slide.
