Answer:

0.29D

Explanation:

Given that

F = G M m / r2

F = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

G Mm/r2 = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

1/r2 = 6 / (D-r)2

r = D / (Ö6 + 1)

r = 0.29 D

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

The specific heat capacity of sea water is 4100 J/Kg°C and the boiling point of 100.6 °C. (i) Calculate the energy required to r

maw [93]

Answer:

334.314 (kJ)

Explanation:

1) the formula for the required energy is: Q=c*m(Bp-t), where c - 4100 J/kg*C; m - 0.9 kg; Bp - 100.6 C; t - 10 C.

2) according to the formula above:

Q=4100*0.9*(100.6-10)=41*9*906=334314 (J).

A team of seven psychologist is study love, but each psychologist is working from a different perspective. In your opinion, what

stepladder [879]

Answer:

- Behavioral Psychologists

- Psychodynamic Psychologist

- Biological Psychologist

- Cognitive Psychologist

- Evolutionary Psychologist

- Socio - Cultural Psychologist

- Humanist Psychologist

Explained in explanation section

Explanation:

There are different classes of psychologists but for the purpose of this question we need just 7 that would fit into the study of love. These 7 will be;

1) A behavioral Psychologist might study behaviors associated with love, such as hugging, caressing or kissing.

2) A psychodynamic psychologist might study how a people's challenges with love are caused by unmindful and unresolved conflicts.

3) A biological psychologist might study which chemicals in the brain such as dopamine make people feel loved. He might also study parts of the what parts of the brain are active when people are in love.

4) A cognitive psychologist might study how people's cognitive processes will change when they are in love.

5) An evolutionary psychologist might study how certain actions or behaviors associated with love provided our forefathers with sufficient knowledge to handle their love problems.

6) A sociocultural psychologist might study how people express love in in various cultures across the world.

7) A humanistic psychologist might study the behavior of those who feel most loved and the impact it has in their lives
