Operant conditioning, sometimes called <em>instrumental learning</em>, was first extensively studied by Edward L. Thorndike, who observed the behavior of cats trying to escape from home-made puzzle boxes.

Hope this helps!

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done

Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

$A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)$

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and $\alpha$ is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle $\alpha$ .

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

$A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5$

So:

$|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846$

So:

$Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)$

$\alpha$ = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

$\alpha$ = 313 °

blondinia [14]

Answer:

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the sound is given as

$v = 332 + 0.6 t$

now at t = 273 k = 0 degree

$v = 332 m/s$

so we have

$a sin\theta = N\lambda$

$a sin\theta = N(\frac{v_1}{f})$

now when temperature is changed to 313 K we have

$t = 313 - 273 = 40 degree$

now we have

$v = 332 + (0.6)(40)$

$v_2 = 356 m/s$

$a sin\theta' = N(\frac{v_2}{f})$

now from two equations we have

$\frac{sin19.5}{sin\theta} = \frac{332}{356}$

so we have

$sin\theta = 0.358$

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

While ice melts, it remains at 0 °C, and the liquid water that is formed with the latent heat of fusion is also at 0 °C. The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C is approximately 334 joules per gram, and the heat of vaporization at 100 °C is about 2,230 joules per gram. So it will be C
