Answer:

54 km/hr

Explanation:

m/s to km/hr => 18/5

15 m/s to km/hr => 15 x 18/5 =>3 x 18 => 54km/hr

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?

lord [1]

The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.

The following equation is an example of decay? 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.
Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2.
Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th

Finger [1]

Answer:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

$v = \lambda f$

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

$T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m$

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

And if we replace we got:

$f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz$

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

$v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}$

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o

muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3$

$\Delta v = -38.1 km/s$

$\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

given that

$\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

$\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s$

now the acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}$

$a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

sveta [45]

Answer:

It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double

Explanation:

Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

$N(t)=N_0\,e^{kt}$

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.

In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).

So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

$2\,N_0=N_0\,e^{0.0024\,t}\\\frac{2\,N_0}{N_0} =e^{0.0024\,t}\\2=e^{0.0024\,t}\\ln(2)=0.0024\,t\\t=\frac{ln(2)}{0.0024} \\t=288.811\,\, hours$

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours
