Answer:

B. Observation

Explanation:

Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.

Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.

Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.

Answer: Burrhus Frederic Skinner's Operant Conditioning.

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.

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.

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.

Two sticky spheres are suspended from light ropes of length LL that are attached to the ceiling at a common point. Sphere AA has

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

h’ = 1/9 h

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts:

* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy

starting point. Higher

Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lower, just before the crash

Em_f = K = ½ m $v_{b}^2$

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

m g h = ½ m v²

v_b = $\sqrt{2gh}$

* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before the crash

p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b

final instant. Right after the crash

p_f = (2m + m) v

the moment is preserved

p₀ = p_f

m v_b = 3m v

v = v_b / 3

v = ⅓ $\sqrt{2gh}$

* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together

Starting point. Lower

Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²

Final point. Higher

Em_f = U = (3m) g h'

Em₀ = Em_f

½ 3m v² = 3m g h’

we substitute

h’= $\frac{v^2}{2g}$

h’ = $\frac{1}{3^2} \ \frac{ 2gh}{2g}$

h’ = 1/9 h
