Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time
Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>
Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration
Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N
<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>
Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²
Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m
<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>
What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.
The
first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to
define disorder. How do you determine if there is something
psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide
what's normal and what's abnormal?
If you were to define disorder
as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who
are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area
would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are
considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists
tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that
are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and
interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.
Today
many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized
by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.
Answer:
D. A Molecule
Explanation:
<em>The smallest particle of a compound that still has the properties of the compound is a molecule. It is composed of two or more bonded atoms.</em>
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)
Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15
So..
27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
Twenty is the atomic number of potassium.
