In class, Kelsey stops paying attention to the lesson and begins to focus on tapping her pencil on her desk. Her teacher slowly

walks to Kelsey’s desk and gently takes her pencil from her. How would behaviorist B.F. Skinner MOST likely describe this response?

Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

How dose an atom change if all of its electrons are removed

Anni [7]

Answer:

When all the electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes something as a positively charged particles also known as alpha particles.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The bare nucleus which is positively charged help in scattering experiments as it has high penetrating powers. <em>An atom is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. We need huge energy to separate the electrons from their parent atom, still making it separated brings you a particle with a positive charge and only mass having high penetrating power. </em>

You leave the doctor's office after your annual checkup and recall that you weighed 688 N in her office. You then get into an el

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, $w=688\ N$

So, the mass of the person:

$m=\frac{w}{g}$

$m=\frac{688}{9.81}$

$m=70.132\ kg$

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 726\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w_a-w$

$\Delta w=726-688$

$\Delta w=38\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{38}{70.132}$

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 598\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w-w_a$

$\Delta w=688-598$

$\Delta w=90\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{90}{70.132}$

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?

Snowcat [4.5K]

By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v = the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s
