A coin is resting on the bottom of an empty container. The container is then fi lled to the brim three times, each time with a d

iff erent liquid. An observer (in air) is directly above the coin and looks down at it. With liquid A in the container, the apparent depth of the coin is 7 cm, with liquid B it is 6 cm, and with liquid C it is 5 cm. Rank the indices of refraction of the liquids in descending order (largest fist).
a. nC, nA, nB
b. nA, nB, nC
c. nB, nA, nC
d. nC, nB, nA
e. nA, nC, nB

when we placed in the container of real depth assuming = d

if the container filled with liquid A then its apparent depth d' = 7cm

so the refractive index nA = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/7cm = 0.1428d

if the container filled with liquid B then its apparent depth d' = 6cm

so the refractive index nB = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/6cm = 0.166d

if the container filled with liquid C then its apparent depth d' = 5cm

so the refractive index nC = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/5cm = 0.2d

Since the refractive index is inversely proportional to the apparent depth

then the refractive indices are nC > nB > nA

In a cell protein synthesis is the primary function of
Elena-2011 [213]


In a cell, protein synthesis  is the primary function of the ribosomes, found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

A Ribosome is a cell organelle that makes protein. The location of the ribosome  in a cell determine the kind of protein it makes.  If the ribosome is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, the proteins made are utilized both  within and outside the cell. If the ribosome is in the cytoplasm, floating freely, then the kind of protein made will be utilized within the cell only.

Which of the following statements about energy is true? I. Kinetic energy cannot be transformed into another type of energy. II.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: B. II and III only

Explanation:

Let’s begin by explianing what energy is: the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, there are several types of energy, but we will talk especifically in this case about <u>kinetic energy</u> and <u>potential energy</u>.

<u>Kinetic energy </u>is the energy an object or body has due to its movement and depends on the mass and velocity of the object or body.

To understande it better: If an object is at rest, its velocity is null and it does not have kinetic energy, however, if the object is moving, then it has kinetic energy.

On the other hand, <u>Potential energy</u> is known as <em>“stored energy”</em> that has the potential to be converted into energy of motion (kinetic energy) or another type of energy (thermal energy, for example). In addition, this energy is related to the work done when a certain force moves an object or body from its natural resting state along a distance to a new position.

So, according to this, Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy or any other type of energy. Hence, options II and III are correct.

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

        h f =Ф

psychology chapter 7, principles of learning; I am the process whereby animals are taught a complicated response by being reward
jeyben [28]
<span>Answer: Burrhus Frederic Skinner's Operant Conditioning.

</span><span>B.F. Skinner  believed that to understand behavior, in the best way, is to look at the root causes or reasons of an action and its outcomes. 
</span>
Skinner proposes the Law of Effect-Reinforcement. Here,he differentiated the positively reinforced behavior or the strengthened behavior, the negatively reinforced behavior (removal of the unpleasant experience), and weakened behavior because of punishment.  
<span>
In positive reinforcement,  behavior is strengthened through providing an outcome, an effect that an individual finds rewarding. Negative reinforcement also strengthens behavior because the unpleasant experience was removed. Punishment on the other hand is an opposite to reinforcement. Instead of increasing the response, it eliminates it or weakens it.
