A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc

ity of 1 m/s north rela-tive to the ground. Which of the following is the best estimate of the velocity of the skateboard immediately after the dog has jumped?
(A) 1 m/s north(B) 1 m/s south(C) 3 m/s south (D) 7 m/s south(E) 17 m/s south

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of dog = 10 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

$u_1$ = Velocity of dog = 1 m/s

$u_2$ = Velocity of skateboard

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

$(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s$

The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive

A body A of mass 1.5kg, travelling along the positive x-axis with speed 4.5m/s, collides with another body B of mass 3.2kg which

Pie

Momentum before the collision
x-direction:
p = m₁v₁ = 1.5 * 4.5 = 6.75
x-direction:
p = 0

momentum after the collision is conserved:
x-direction:
p = 6.75 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 1.5 * 2. 1* cos -30° + 3.2 * v₂*cos θ
y-direction:
p = 0 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 1.5 * 2.1 * sin -30° + 3.2 * v₂ * sin θ

Solve the two equations for v₂ and θ.

Nitrogen (n2) gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes a compression from p1 = 20 bar, v1 = 0.5 m3 to a state where v2 =

Bingel [31]

Part a)

As we know that

$P_1V_1^{1.35} = P_2V_2^{1.35}$

here we know that

P1 = 20 bar

V1 = 0.5 m^3

V2 = 2.75 m^3

from above equation

$20* 0.5^{1.35} = P * (2.75)^{1.35}$

$P = 2 bar$

so final state pressure will be 2 bar

Part b)

now in order to find the work done

$W = \int PdV$

$W = \int \frac{c}{V^{1.35}}dV$

$W = c\frac{V^{-0.35}}{-0.35}$

$W = \frac{P_1V_1 - P_2V_2}{0.35}$

$W = \frac{20* 0.5 - 2 * 2.75}{0.35}* 10^5 = 12.86 * 10^5 J$

Explain how cognitive psychologists combine traditional conditioning models with cognitive processes.

user100 [1]

Behaviorists generally claimed that conditioning occurred without thinking or reasoning ans was simply a result of consequences or reinforcement. Cognitive psychologists demonstrated that thinking and reasoning (cognition) influences the conditioning processes and that many behaviors that are conditioned depend on the type of cognitive reasoning that occurs during conditioning. Therefore, as one is being conditioned to respond to environmental stimuli or is responding to a consequence, they are also pondering and thinking about the process occuring. Cognition is often the reason individuals are not all conditioned in the same manner.

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these

insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

$\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

$I_0$ = Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

$I= 15I_0$

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

$\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})$

$\beta = 100-10*log(15)$

$\beta = 100-11.76$

$\beta = 88.23dB$

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.
