According to Buckingham and Clifton, most business organizations are built on these two (2) flawed assumptions:

1. Everyone can learn almost everything.

2. People's best room for growth is in the areas of weakness.

Marcus W. Buckingham is an English author, business consultant and motivational speaker who was born on the 11th of January, 1966 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England.

Donald O. Clifton was an American author, educator, psychologist, business entrepreneur and researcher who was born on the 5th of February, 1924 in Butte, Nebraska‎, United States of America.

While studying as a student in Cambridge, Marcus W. Buckingham was recruited by Prof. Donald O. Clifton as an assistant in a research (survey) that was aimed at helping business organizations identify talents in various individuals, so as to effectively match them with the right job positions or roles.

In the book titled "Now, Discover Your Strengths" which was co-authored by both Buckingham and Clifton, most business organizations were said to be typically built on these two (2) flawed assumptions:

Everyone can learn to be competent in almost anything.

People's best (greatest) room for growth is in their areas of weakness.

However, the two (2) assumptions on which the world’s best managers operate include:

Each individual has an enduring and unique talent.

People's best (greatest) room for growth is in their areas of strength.

Consider a collection of charges in a given region and suppose all other charges are distant and have a negligible effect. Furth

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

$V = \frac{W}{Q}$

where;

W is the work done in moving a charge between two points which have a difference in potential

Q is quantity of charge in the given region

If the electric potential at a given point in the region is zero, then sum of the charges in the given region must be equal to zero. For the charges to sum to zero, some will be positive while some will be negative,.

Therefore, the correct statement in the given options is "E"

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

1. Two blocks travel along a level frictionless surface. Block A is initially moving to the right at 5.0 m/s, while block B is i

ad-work [718]

Answer: 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block A is $m_a=2\ kg$

mass of block B is $m_b=3\ kg$

The initial velocity of block A $u_a=5\ m/s$

the initial velocity of block B is $u_b=0$

After collision velocity of block A is $v_a=1\ m/s$

Conserving momentum

$m_au_a+m_bu_b=m_av_a+m_bv_b\\\\2\times 5+3\times0=2\times 1+3\times v_b\\\\v_b=\dfrac{8}{3}=2.67\ m/s$

The momentum of block A after the collision is $P_a=2\times 1=2\ kg.m/s$

Therefore, there is no change in sign.

When you step inside a warm ski lodge on a cold day, you find your glasses fog. why does this occur?

marin [14]

Answer: Condensation of moisture in the air onto the glasses.

Explanation:
When you come from a cold environment into a warm ski lodge, the glasses are at a much lower temperature than that of the lodge.
Because the air in the room contains moisture (water vapor), it condenses on a surface whose temperature is lower than the dew point of the room.

How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?

tangare [24]

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon ! If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove. It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels. Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up. We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
