Answer:

Explanation:

1.2(0) + 3(0.8) + 1.4(0.8/2) / (1.2 + 3 + 1.4) = 0.5285714... ≈ 0.53 m

An object is dropped from rest from the top of a 400 m cliff on Earth. If air resistance is negligible, what is the distance the
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

176.58 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 6^2\\\Rightarrow s=176.58\ m

The object travels 176.58 m from the cliff in 6 seconds.

Briefly describe the three intelligences included in Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory of human intelligence.
pshichka [43]
The triarchic theory of intelligence<span> was formulated by </span>Robert J. Sternberg<span>, a prominent figure in research of human </span>intelligence<span>. The theory by itself was among the first to go against the </span>psychometric<span> approach to intelligence and take a more </span>cognitive approach<span>. The three meta components are also called triarchic components. These are the triarchic theory of human intelligence.
</span>1. Analytical - Analytical Intelligence similar to the standard psychometric definition of intelligence e.g. as measured by Academic problem solving: analogies and puzzles, and corresponds to his earlier componential intelligence. Sternberg considers this reflects how an individual relates to his internal world.

Sternberg believes that Analytical Intelligence (Academic problem-solving skills) is based on the joint operations of metacomponents and performance components and knowledge acquisition components of intelligence

2. Practical - Practical Intelligence: this involves the ability to grasp, understand and deal with everyday tasks. This is the Contextual aspect of intelligence and reflects how the individual relates to the external world about him or her.

<span>Sternberg states that Intelligence is: </span>"Purposive adaptation to, shaping of, and selection of real-world environments relevant to one's life" (Sternberg, 1984, p.271)

3. Creative - Creative Intelligence: this involves insights, synthesis and the ability to react to novel situations and stimuli. This he considers the Experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality.

<span>Sternberg </span>considers the Creative facet to consist of the ability which allows people to think creatively and that which allows people to adjust creatively and effectively to new situations.

<span>Sternberg believes that more intelligent individuals will also move from consciously learning in a novel situation to automating the new learning so that they can attend to other tasks.</span>

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an
Mademuasel [1]
We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

a body of mass 0.2kg is whirled round a horizontal circle by a string inclined at 30 degrees to the vertical calculate &lt;br /&
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)  T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

        sin 30 = \frac{T_x}{T}

        cos 30 = \frac{T_y}{T}

        Tₓ = T sin 30

        T_y = T cos 30

Y axis  

       T_y -W = 0

       T cos 30 = mg                     (1)

X axis

        Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

         T sin 30 = m\frac{v^2}{r}            (2)

a) we substitute in 1

         T = \frac{mg }{cos 30}

         T = \frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos  \ 30}

         T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

           v² = \frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}

If we know the length of the string

          sin 30 = r / L

          r = L sin 30

we substitute

          v² = \frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}

          v² = \frac{TL \ sin^2  30}{m}

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }

          v = 1.68 m / s
