Answer:

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force = 400 [N]

m = mass = 75 [kg]

a = F/m

a = 400/75

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (
Elina [12.6K]

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.

A bat hits a 0.150 kg baseball for
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

11.85 kg m/s

Explanation:

impulse = mass ( change in velocity )

              = mass ( final velocity - initial velocity )

               = 0.150 ( 32.0 - (-47.0))

                = 0.150 ( 32.0 +47.0)

                = 0.150 (79)

                = 11.85 kg m/s

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a)  Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 1.5 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

                      t = 0.553 s

      Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.553 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

                      s = 110.6 m

      The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m

Can you help me??????????????????????????)?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Velocity is a change in displacement over change in time and uses the units m/s.

Both are rates of change and can be positive or negative.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over change in time and uses the units m/s².

Explanation:

Velocity is the change in displacement over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s because that is a displacement unit over a time unit.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is also a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s² (m/s/s) because that is a velocity unit over a time unit.
