Which of the following statements is not true about underage drinking?

How do technological artifacts affect the way that you live?

Maslowich

Answer:

Artefacts can influence our actions in several ways. They can be instruments, enabling and facilitating actions, where their presence affects the number and quality of the options for action available to us. They can also influence our actions in a morally more salient way, where their presence changes the likelihood that we will actually perform certain actions. Both kinds of influences are closely related, yet accounts of how they work have been developed largely independently, within different conceptual frameworks and for different purposes. In this paper I account for both kinds of influences within a single framework. Specifically, I develop a descriptive account of how the presence of artefacts affects what we actually do, which is based on a framework commonly used for normative investigations into how the presence of artefacts affects what we can do. This account describes the influence of artefacts on what we actually do in terms of the way facts about those artefacts alter our reasons for action. In developing this account, I will build on Dancy’s (2000a) account of practical reasoning. I will compare my account with two alternatives, those of Latour and Verbeek, and show how my account suggests a specification of their respective key concepts of prescription and invitation. Furthermore, I argue that my account helps us in analysing why the presence of artefacts sometimes fails to influence our actions, contrary to designer expectations or intentions.

When it comes to affecting human actions, it seems artefacts can play two roles. In their first role they can enable or facilitate human actions. Here, the presence of artefacts changes the number and quality of the options for action available to us.Footnote1 For example, their presence makes it possible for us to do things that we would not otherwise be able to do, and thereby adopt new goals, or helps us to do things we would otherwise be able to do, but in more time, with greater effort, etc

Explanation:

Technological artifacts are in general characterized narrowly as material objects made by (human) agents as means to achieve practical ends. ... Unintended by-products of making (e.g. sawdust) or of experiments (e.g. false positives in medical diagnostic tests) are not artifacts for Hilpinen.

What are the de Broglie frequencies and wavelengths of (a) an electron accelerated to 50 eV (b) a proton accelerated to 100 eV

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

(a) De-Brogie wavelength is 0.173 nm and frequency is 2.42 x 10^16 Hz

(b) De-Brogie wavelength is 2.875 pm and frequency is 4.8 x 10^16 Hz

Explanation:

(a)

First, we need to find velocity of electron. Since, it is accelerated by electric potential. Therefore,

K.E of electron = (1/2)mv² = (50 eV)(1.6 x 10^-19 J/1 eV)

(1/2)mv² = 8 x 10^(-18) J

Mass of electron = m = 9.1 x 10^(-31) kg

Therefore,

v² = [8 x 10^(-18) J](2)/(9.1 x 10^(-31) kg)

v = √1.75 x 10^13

v = 4.2 x 10^6 m/s

Now, the de Broglie's wavelength is given as:

λ = h/mv

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s

Therefore,

λ = (6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s)/(9.1 x 10^(-31) kg)(4.2 x 10^6 m/s)

λ = 0.173 x 10^(-9) m = 0.173 nm

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

f = (4.2 x 10^6 m/s)/(0.173 x 10^(-9) m)

f = 2.42 x 10^16 Hz

(b)

First, we need to find velocity of proton. Since, it is accelerated by electric potential. Therefore,

K.E of proton = (1/2)mv² = (100 eV)(1.6 x 10^-19 J/1 eV)

(1/2)mv² = 1.6 x 10^(-17) J

Mass of proton = m = 1.67 x 10^(-27) kg

Therefore,

v² = [1.6 x 10^(-17) J](2)/(1.67 x 10^(-27) kg)

v = √1.916 x 10^10

v = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s

Now, the de Broglie's wavelength is given as:

λ = h/mv

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s

Therefore,

λ = (6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s)/(1.67 x 10^(-27) kg)(1.38 x 10^5 m/s)

λ = 2.875 x 10^(-12) m = 2.875 pm

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

f = (1.38 x 10^5 m/s)/(2.875 x 10^(-12) m)

f = 4.8 x 10^16 Hz

Refrigerant 134a enters an air conditioner compressor at 4 bar, 208C, and is compressed at steady state to 12 bar, 808C. The vol

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

heat transfer rate is -15.71 kW

Explanation:

given data

Initial pressure = 4 bar

Final pressure = 12 bar

volumetric flow rate = 4 m³ / min

work input to the compressor = 60 kJ per kg

solution

we use here super hated table for 4 bar and 20 degree temperature and 12 bar and 80 degree is

h1 = 262.96 kJ/kg

v1 = 0.05397 m³/kg

h2 = 310.24 kJ/kg

and here mass balance equation will be

m1 = m2

and mass flow equation is express as

m1 = $\frac{A1\times V1}{v1}$ .......................1

m1 = $\frac{4\times \frac{1}{60}}{0.05397}$

m1 = 1.2353 kg/s

and here energy balance equation is express as

0 = Qcv - Wcv + m × [ ( h1-h2) + $\frac{v1^2-v2^2}{2}$ + g (z1-z2) ] ....................2

so here Qcv will be

Qcv = m × [ $\frac{Wcv}{m} + (h2-h1)$ ] ......................3

put here value and we get

Qcv = 1.2353 × [ {-60}+ (310.24-262.96) ]

Qcv = -15.7130 kW

so here heat transfer rate is -15.71 kW

Light from a helium-neon laser (λ = 633 nm) illuminates two slits spaced 0.50 mm apart. A viewing screen is 2.5 m behind the sli

serg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength $\lambda =633\ nm$

distance between two slits $d=0.5\ mm$

Screen is placed at a distance $L=2.5\ m$

Location of a (n+1)th bright fringe is given by

$x_{n+1}=\frac{L}{2d}(n+1)\lambda$

for nth bright fringe

$x_n=\frac{L}{2d}(n)\lambda$

Distance between two bright fringes

$x_{n+1}-x_n=\frac{L}{2d}\cdot \lambda$

$x_{n+1}-x_n=\frac{2.5}{2\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}\cdot 633\times 10^{-3}$

$x_{n+1}-x_n=1.582\ mm$
