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.

Answer: The question has some missing details. The initial velocity given as u = -6.5i + 17j + 13k and the final velocity v = -2.8i + 17j -9.3k.
a) = (1.82i - 9.69k)m/s2
b) magnitude = 9.85m/s2
c) direction = 280.64 degree

Answer:
k1 + k2
Explanation:
Spring 1 has spring constant k1
Spring 2 has spring constant k2
After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.
x1 = x2
Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are
k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x
k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x
While F = F1 + F2
Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces
F = F1 + F2
F = k1*x + k2*x
= x(k1 + k2)
Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)
Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,
The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
