Answer:

Described below

Explanation:

- The behaviorist theories: This theory is of the claim that language is learned through the means of reinforcement and imitation. This means that little children can mimic the language of individuals around them and also receive reinforcement to correct the formation of their words. Thereafter, words not reinforced will eventually no longer be in use.

- The nativist theories: This theory is of the claim that individuals possess an innate process which is used in language learning and is widely known as "language acquisition device" (LAD). This device is used to assist in helping them automatically learn languages.

-The interactionist theories: This theory is of the claim that innate processes which is also referred to as genetic predispositions and learning experiences from the environment both help in language development.

Q1.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

P = 450 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child, m = 18 kg

The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.

The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.

The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

P = mgh

Substituting all the values,

P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m

P = 450 J

Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.

Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m

Newtons laws of motion

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Law 1. A body continues in its state of rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.

Law 2. A body acted upon by a force moves in such a manner that the time rate of change of momentum equals the force.

Law 3. If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

A constant torque of 3 Nm is applied to an unloaded motor at rest at time t = 0. The motor reaches a speed of 1,393 rpm in 4 s.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

Explanation:

From Newton's Laws of Motion and Principle of Motion of D'Alembert, the net torque of a system ( $\tau$ ), measured in Newton-meters, is:

$\tau = I\cdot \alpha$ (1)

Where:

$I$ - Moment of inertia, measured in Newton-meter-square seconds.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

If motor have an uniform acceleration, then we can calculate acceleration by this formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{t}$ (2)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\omega$ - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $\tau = 3\,N\cdot m$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s }$ , $\omega = 145.875\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 4\,s$ , then the moment of inertia of the motor is:
