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.

Air expands isentropically from 2.2 MPa and 77°C to 0.4 MPa. Calculate the ratio of the initial to the final speed of sound.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The ratio of initial to final speed of sound is given as 1.28.

Explanation:

As per the thermodynamic relation of isentropic expansion

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1}{k}}$

Here

$P_1$ is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 2.2 MPa
$T_1$ is the temperature at point 1 which is given as 77 °C or 273+77=350K

$P_2$ is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 0.4 MPa
$T_2$ is the temperature at point 2 which is to be calculated
k is the ratio of specific heats given as 1.4

Substituting values in the equation

$\frac{T_2}{350}=(\frac{0.4}{2.2})^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\frac{T_2}{350}=(0.18)^{0.2857}\\T_2=(0.18)^{0.2857} \times 350 \\T_2=0.61266 \times 350\\T_2=214.43 K$

As speed of sound c is given as

$c=\sqrt{kRT}$

for initial to final values it is given as

$\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\frac{\sqrt{k_1R_1T_1}}{\sqrt{k_2R_2T_2}}$

As values of k and R is constant so the ratio is given as

$\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}$

Substituting values give

$\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{\frac{350}{214.43}}\\\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{1.63}}\\\frac{c_i}{c_f}=1.277 \approx 1.28$

So the ratio of initial to final speed of sound is 1.28.

Give details of aids in brief and explain how to protect yourself and prevent.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight infection and disease. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It can also be spread by contact with infected blood or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breast-feeding.

Explanation:

To help prevent the spread of HIV: 1. Use treatment as prevention (TasP). If you're living with HIV, taking HIV medication can keep your partner from becoming infected with the virus.

If the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

f = 614.28 Hz

Explanation:

Given that, the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm. It can be assumed that the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. The test tube is a kind of tube which has a closed end. The frequency in of standing wave in a closed end tube is given by :

$f=\dfrac{nv}{4l}$

$f=\dfrac{1\times 344}{4\times 0.14}$

f = 614.28 Hz

So, the frequency of the this standing wave is 614.28 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.
