A race is held between a sports car and a motorcycle. The sports car can accelerate at 5.0 m/s^2 and the motorcycle can accelera

te at 8.0 m/s^2. The two vehicles start the race at the same time and accelerate from rest. After 5.0 s, how fast is the sports car going? After 6.0 s, how distance will the motorcycle have gone? To make the race fair, the sports car starts 50.0 m ahead of the motorcycle. If the course is 200.0 m long, which vehicle wins the race?

Answer:

Vf₁ = 30 m/s

s₂ = 90 m

car wins the race.

Explanation:

To find the speed of car after 5 s, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + a₁t₁

where,

Vf₁ = Final Speed of Car = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of Car = 0 m/s

a₁ = acceleration of car = 5 m/s²

t₁ = time = 5 s

Therefore,

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (5 m/s²)(5 s)

<u>Vf₁ = 25 m/s</u>

<u></u>

To find the distance of motorcycle after 6 s, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₂ = distance covered by the motorcycle = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of motorcycle = 0 m/s

a₂ = acceleration of motorcycle = 8 m/s²

t₂ = time = 6 s

Therefore,

s₂ = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>s₂ = 90 m</u>

<u></u>

We can use 2nd equation of motion to find time taken by each car and motorcycle to reach the finish point:

For Car:

s₁ = Vi₁ t₁ + (1/2)a₁t₁²

where,

s₁ = 200 m - 50 m = 150 m (since, car starts 50 m ahead)

Therefore.

150 m = (0 m/s)(t₁) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₁²

t₁ = √60 s²

t₁ = 7.74 s

For Motorcycle:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₁ = 200 m

Therefore.

200 m = (0 m/s)(t₂) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₂²

t₂ = √80 s²

t₂ = 8.94 s

Since, the car takes less time to reach finish line.

Therefore, car wins the race.

Dr. Clairmont will have his psychology students training dogs from the local animal shelter to sit using various types of reinfo
olga2289 [7]

Answer:Habituation is a simple learned behavior in which an animal gradually stops responding to a repeated stimulus.

Imprinting is a specialized form of learning that occurs during a brief period in young animals—e.g., ducks imprinting on their mother.

In classical conditioning, a new stimulus is associated with a pre-existing response through repeated pairing of new and previously known stimuli.

In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

Some animals, especially primates, are capable of more complex forms of learning, such as problem-solving and the construction of mental maps.

Introduction

If you own a dog—or have a friend who owns a dog—you probably know that dogs can be trained to do things like sit, beg, roll over, and play dead. These are examples of learned behaviors, and dogs can be capable of significant learning. By some estimates, a very clever dog has cognitive abilities on par with a two-and-a-half-year-old human!
