Which of the following statements regarding heuristics and empiricism is true? A. Heuristics allows a priori theoretical concep

WITCHER [35]

Answer: <em>Option (A) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

A heuristic is often referred to as an approach to solving problems or discovery that subjects a method, which is considered to be practical although might not be guaranteed to be perfect, optimal, or rational, but sufficient for reaching to goal.

Empiricism is known as a theory under which one can states that knowledge can only be imparted from the sensory experience. It is considered to be one of the main notions underlying in epistemology, i.e. known as the study of human knowledge, alongside skepticism and rationalism.

You are given aqueous solutions of six different substances and asked to determine whether they are strong, weak, or nonelectrol

kogti [31]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Electrolytes are any substances that dissociate into charged particles called ions when dissolved in water. The positively charged ions called cations and the negatively charged ions called anions move toward the negative and positive terminals (cathode and anode) of an electric circuit.

When a substance dissolved in water completely dissociates into ions, it is called a strong electrolyte. The aqueous solutions containing strong electrolytes conduct electricity very well and the examples include strong acids and soluble ionic compounds such as barium chloride, sodium hydroxide, etc.

When a substance dissolved in water does not completely dissociate into ions, it is called a weak electrolyte. Since the aqueous solutions containing weak electrolytes have relatively few ions, their electrical conductivity is very low compared to the solutions containing strong electrolytes. Examples of weak electrolytes include weak acids and bases like acetic acid, ammonia, etc.

When a substance does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, it is called a nonelectrolyte. Since the aqueous solutions containing nonelectrolytes do not contain any ions, such solutions do not conduct electricity. Examples of nonelectrolytes are ethanol, aldehydes, glucose, ketones, etc.

If a solution contains dissolved ions, it conducts electricity and as the ion concentration increases, the conductivity also increases. To determine whether the aqueous solutions of six different substances are strong, weak, or nonelectrolytes, we can test them by applying a voltage to electrodes immersed in the solutions and a light bulb. By observing the brightness of the light bulb or by measuring the flow of electrical current, we can find out which solution contains a strong electrolyte or weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte.

If the solution contains a nonelectrolyte, the current flow is nil and the light bulb does not glow. If the solution contains a strong electrolyte, the current flow is very strong and so the brightness of the light bulb is very high. If the solution contains a weak electrolyte, the current flow is much low compared to the strong electrolyte and the light bulb glows, but the brightness is very low.

The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.

RUDIKE [14]

Explanation :

Work is done when a force is applied to create a displacement on an object.

Thus, the work done depends on the two factors i.e.

(1) Applied force (F)

(2) Distance or displacement (d)

Mathematically, work done is $W= F.s$

It also depends on the angle between the force and the displacement.

$W=Fs\ cos\ \theta$

For example,

A person carries a weight of 20 kg and lifts it on his head 1.5 m above the surface. So, the work done by him on the luggage will be:

$W= F\times s$

or

$W=m\times g \times s$

$W=20\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.5\ m$

So, $W=294\ Joules$

Hence, the work done by him on the luggage is 294 Joules.

7) A crazy cat (yes, this is redundant) is running along the roof of a 60 m tall building. The cat is moving at a constant veloc

gregori [183]

Answer:

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time is 3.5 s.

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity vectors of the cat are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector of the cat at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive).

v = velocity vector of the cat at time t.

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0. In a horizontal launch, initially there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

When the cat reaches the ground, the position vector of the cat will be r1 (see figure). The vertical component of r1 is -60 m and the horizontal component will be the horizontal distance traveled by the cat (r1x). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the position vector, we can obtain the time of flight and with that time we can obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the cat:

r1y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-60 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

- 60 m = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / - 4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

The cat reaches the ground in 3.5 s

Now, we can calculate the horizontal component of r1:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t

r1x = 0 m + 44 m/s · 3.5 s

r1x = 154 m

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time was already calculated and is 3.5 s.

The velocity vector of the cat when it reaches the ground will be:

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

v = (44 m/s, 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s)

v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s)

The magintude of the vector "v" is calculated as follows:

$|v| = \sqrt{(44 m/s)^{2}+(-34.3 m/s)^{2}} = 55.8 m/s$

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.
