According to William James, the purpose of psychology was to "study the function of behavior".

William James is known to be the first to offer a course of psychology in US. He also remains a popularly read philosopher, and his hypotheses on pragmatism have contributed both to the field of psychology and philosophy. As per James' pragmatism, the estimation of a thought is reliant upon its helpfulness in the real world as opposed to its outright truth.

Answer:

"study the function of behavior".

Explanation:

The pioneer of Functional Psychology developed in the United States was the American William James. Its importance to psychology has been questioned because of its interest in mystical subjects such as telepathy, clairvoyance, spiritualism, and communication with the dead. He had a real distaste for the method of experimentation in psychology and did little work in this area. For him, the aim of psychology was to study the function of human behavior.

James founded no new thought stream or school of psychology, his attitude as a researcher was nothing experimental, as they wanted to make it appear by associating his form of psychology with the form of experimental psychology. He did not found functional psychology, but clearly and effectively presented his ideas within the functionalist atmosphere pervaded with American psychology, influencing the functionalist movement and inspiring later generations of psychologists.

Three metal fishing weights, each with a mass of 1.00x102 g and at a temperature of 100.0°C, are placed in 1.00x102 g of water a

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately $0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ assuming no heat exchange between the mixture and the surroundings.

Explanation:

Consider an object of specific heat capacity $c$ and mass $m$ . Increasing the temperature of this object by $\Delta T$ would require $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ .

Look up the specific heat of water: $c(\text{water}) = 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}$ .

It is given that the mass of the water in this mixture is $m(\text{water}) = 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the water: $\Delta T(\text{water}) = (45 - 35)\; {\rm K} = 10\; {\rm K}$ .

Thus, the water in this mixture would have absorbed :

$\begin{aligned}Q &= c\, m\, \Delta T \\ &= 4.182\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}} \\ &\quad \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times 10\; {\rm K} \\ &= 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the energy that water absorbed was: $Q(\text{water}) = 4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ .

Assuming that there was no heat exchange between the mixture and its surroundings. The energy that the water in this mixture absorbed, $Q(\text{water})$ , would be the opposite of the energy that the metal in this mixture released.

Thus: $Q(\text{metal}) = -Q(\text{water}) = -4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}$ (negative because the metal in this mixture released energy rather than absorbing energy.)

Mass of the metal in this mixture: $m(\text{metal}) = 3 \times 1.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} = 3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g}$ .

Temperature change of the metal in this mixture: $\Delta T(\text{metal}) = (100 - 45)\; {\rm K} = 55\; {\rm K}$ .

Rearrange the equation $Q = c\, m \, \Delta T$ to obtain an expression for the specific heat capacity: $c = Q / (m\, \Delta T)$ . The (average) specific heat capacity of the metal pieces in this mixture would be:

$\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{Q}{m\, \Delta T} \\ &= \frac{-4.182 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm J}}{3.00 \times 10^{2}\; {\rm g} \times (-55\; {\rm K})} \\ &\approx 0.253\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

A negative charge of -0.550 m exerts an upward <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5868766e

almond37 [142]

Answer:

a. +10.9μC

b. 0.600N and downward

Explanation:

To determine the magnitude of the charge, we use the force rule that exist between two charges which us expressed as

F=(kq₁q₂)/r²

since q₁=-0.55μC and the force it applied on the charge above it is upward,we can conclude that the second charge is +ve, hence we calculate its magnitude as

q₂=Fr²/kq₁

q₂=(0.6N*0.3²)/(9*10⁹*0.55*10⁻⁶)

q₂=0.054/4950

q₂=1.09*10⁻⁵c

q₂=10.9μC.

Hence the second charge is +10.9μC

b. From the rule of charges which state that like charges repel and unlike charges attract, we can conclude that the two above charges will attract since they are unlike charges. Hence the direction of the force will be downward into the second charge and the magnitude of the force will remain the same as 0.600N

What is the mathematical expression for the electric ptential difference between points A and B when a charged particle is movin

ratelena [41]

Answer:

$chang in V=\int\limits^B_A {E} \, ds$

Explanation:

Since, as we know, the potential difference 'ΔV' is the difference of between the Potential energy per unit charge U/qo at one point 'B' to Potential energy per unit charge at other point 'A'. It so happens when a test charge 'qo' moves from point A to B, the potential difference becomes the change of potential energy of the system, i.e.

$Potential Difference =\frac{change in U}{qo}=\int\limits^B_A {E} \, ds$

What is the momentum of a baseball with a mass of 4 kg being thrown at a velocity of 84 m/s towards the hitter

Delvig [45]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 336 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 4 kg

velocity = 84 m/s

We have

momentum = 4 × 84

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
