When Emeka was first training his dog, Smooches, to heel he would give Smooches a treat when she stayed close during walks. Now

Smooches stays right by Emeka's side, even when she is not on her leash. In this case, a. the dog treats were positive reinforcers for staying close. b. the dog treats were negative reinforcers for staying close. c. the staying close was a positive reinforcer for receiving dog treats. d. the staying close was a negative reinforcer for receiving dog treats.

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.055 Ï and is supplied by a 12.0 v battery which has a 0.0305 Ï int
LiRa [457]
12 V is the f.e.m. \epsilon of the battery. The potential difference that is applied to the motor is actually the fem minus the voltage drop on the internal resistance r:
\epsilon - Ir
this is equal to the voltage drop on the resistance of the motor R:
RI
so we can write:
\epsilon - Ir = RI
and using r=0.0305~\Omega and R=0.055~\Omega we can find the current I:
I= \frac{\epsilon}{R+r}=140~A

You are running at a speed of 10km/h and hit a patch of mud. Two seconds later you speed is 8km/h. What is your acceleration in
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.28 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem:

u = 10 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=2.78 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 8 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}= 2.22 m/s is the final velocity

t = 2 s is the time

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{2.78-2.22}{2}=0.28 m/s^2

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.
