an empty propane tank dropped from a hot air balloon hits the ground with a speed of 143.8 m/s. from what height was the tank re
vodomira [7]
What you know:
Vi=0m/s
Vf=143.8m/s
A=-9.8m/s
d=???
Use the equation Vf^2=Vi^2+2A(d)
Rearrange to isolate d: d=Vf^2/2A
d=(143.8)^2/2(-9.8)
d=20678.4/-19.6
d=-1055m
The tank was released from a height of 1055m

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The gplanet is 0.193 m/s^2

Explanation:

The speed of the pulse is:

v=\frac{lengthofthewipe}{traveltime} =\frac{1.6}{0.0656} =15.24m/s

v=\sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} } \\v^{2} =\frac{MgL}{m} \\g=\frac{mv^{2} }{ML}

where

m=mass of the wire=4 g= 4x10^-3 kg

M=mass of the object= 3 kg

Replacing values:

g=\frac{4x10^{-3}*15.24^{2}  }{3*1.6} =0.193 m/s^{2}

Briefly describe the difference between the behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist language acquisition theories.
Over [174]

Answer:

Described below

Explanation:

- The behaviorist theories: This theory is of the claim that language is learned through the means of reinforcement and imitation. This means that little children can mimic the language of individuals around them and also receive reinforcement to correct the formation of their words. Thereafter, words not reinforced will eventually no longer be in use.

- The nativist theories: This theory is of the claim that individuals possess an innate process which is used in language learning and is widely known as "language acquisition device" (LAD). This device is used to assist in helping them automatically learn languages.

-The interactionist theories: This theory is of the claim that innate processes which is also referred to as genetic predispositions and learning experiences from the environment both help in language development.
