Answer:

Height, h = 16.67 m

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.765 kg.

He jumps off the tree and hits the ground with 125 joules of energy.

It is required to find the height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped.

The energy possessed by the squirrel is called its gravitational potential energy. It can be given by :

E=mgh

h is height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped

h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{125\ J}{0.765\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\h=16.67\ m

So, the squirrel will go to a height of 16.67 m.

Technician A says that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current. Technician B says that
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Option A : Technician A

Explanation:

The statement/observation, "that the starter motor used to crank diesel engines can draw up to 400 amps of current" made by Technician A is correct.

A diesel engine uses up to 400+ Amperes of electricity to start up a diesel engine in the ignition chamber of motor engine.

Briefly describe the three intelligences included in Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory of human intelligence.
pshichka [43]
The triarchic theory of intelligence<span> was formulated by </span>Robert J. Sternberg<span>, a prominent figure in research of human </span>intelligence<span>. The theory by itself was among the first to go against the </span>psychometric<span> approach to intelligence and take a more </span>cognitive approach<span>. The three meta components are also called triarchic components. These are the triarchic theory of human intelligence.
</span>1. Analytical - Analytical Intelligence similar to the standard psychometric definition of intelligence e.g. as measured by Academic problem solving: analogies and puzzles, and corresponds to his earlier componential intelligence. Sternberg considers this reflects how an individual relates to his internal world.

Sternberg believes that Analytical Intelligence (Academic problem-solving skills) is based on the joint operations of metacomponents and performance components and knowledge acquisition components of intelligence

2. Practical - Practical Intelligence: this involves the ability to grasp, understand and deal with everyday tasks. This is the Contextual aspect of intelligence and reflects how the individual relates to the external world about him or her.

<span>Sternberg states that Intelligence is: </span>"Purposive adaptation to, shaping of, and selection of real-world environments relevant to one's life" (Sternberg, 1984, p.271)

3. Creative - Creative Intelligence: this involves insights, synthesis and the ability to react to novel situations and stimuli. This he considers the Experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality.

<span>Sternberg </span>considers the Creative facet to consist of the ability which allows people to think creatively and that which allows people to adjust creatively and effectively to new situations.

<span>Sternberg believes that more intelligent individuals will also move from consciously learning in a novel situation to automating the new learning so that they can attend to other tasks.</span>

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

\theta_{max} =18.38^o

b

New  n_{cladding} =1.491

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

          The refractive index of the core is  n_{core} = 1.497

         The refractive index of the cladding  is   n_{cladding} = 1.421

Generally according to Snell's law

      n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)

Where \theta_{max} is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

      \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]

       \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]

      \theta_{max} =18.38^o

Given from the question the the largest angle is  5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

           n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)

          n_{cladding} =1.491
