Any change in the speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". You'll hear "deceleration" used for slowing down but that's not technically correct.

Let's practice calculating the frictional force of a skier on old "woody" skis and wet snow. The skier has a mass of 58 kg. The

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the skier m = 58 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.1$

We have to find the kinetic frictional force

Kinetic frictional force is given by

$F_K=\mu _Kmg=0.1\times 58\times 9.8=56.84N$

So kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N

ruslelena [56]

T1=40°C=313K
T_2=-10°C=263K

Applying Charles law

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml$

Hull (1943) had rats push a lever that required 21 grams of force to budge. After they had learned to push the lever in order to

Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.
