Question:

Suppose a person reinforces a rat for responding to an 800-Hz tone and then observes that its response to a novel 750-Hz tone is about 50 percent of its response to the 800-Hz tone. The lower response to the 750-Hz tone occurs because the rat:

A) cannot tell the difference between the two tones, so it responds by guessing.

B) expects a 50-percent probability that its response will lead to a reward.

C) can hear the 750-Hz tone about half as well as the 800-Hz tone.

D) has learned to discriminate between the tones; therefore, it makes different responses to them.

Answer:

B) expects a 50-percent probability that its response will lead to a reward.

Explanation:

The response of the rat is a   as a result of the expectant of a reward as such the response is lower as the consequence can be either a reinforce or a punishment. Every type of reinforcement raises the possibility of a response. Therefore since there is a reinforcement and there is a novel sound the response of the rat is that there may be a 50 % likelihood that its response my lead to a reward

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of 1.055\times 10^{- 7} in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

The initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This energy of proton is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

The air in a pipe resonates at 150 Hz and 750 Hz, one of these resonances being the fundamental. If the pipe is open at both end
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two frequencies with magnitude 150 Hz and 750 Hz are given

For Pipe open at both sides

fundamental frequency is 150 Hz as it is smaller

frequency  of pipe is given by

f=\frac{nv}{2L}

where L=length of Pipe

v=velocity of sound

f=150\ Hz for n=1

and f=750 is for n=5

thus there are three resonance frequencies for n=2,3 and 4

For Pipe closed at one end

frequency is given by

f=\frac{(2n+1)}{4L}\cdot v

for n=0

f_1=\frac{v}{4L}

f_1=150\ Hz

for n=2

f_2=\frac{5v}{4L}

Thus there is one additional resonance corresponding to n=1 , between f_1 and f_2

luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 34.0 ∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ of magnitude 165 N that
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a)  W = 643.5 J, b) W = -427.4 J  

Explanation:

a) Work is defined by

       W = F. x = F x cos θ

in this case they ask us for the work done by the external force F = 165 N parallel to the ramp, therefore the angle between this force and the displacement is zero

       W = F x

let's calculate

       W = 165  3.9

        W = 643.5 J

b) the work of the gravitational force, which is the weight of the body, in ramp problems the coordinate system is one axis parallel to the plane and the other perpendicular, let's use trigonometry to decompose the weight in these two axes

       sin θ = Wₓ / W

       cos θ = Wy / W

        Wₓ = W sinθ = mg sin θ

        Wy = W cos θ

the work carried out by each of these components is even Wₓ, it has to be antiparallel to the displacement, so the angle is zero

      W = Wₓ x cos 180

      W = - mg sin 34  x

     

let's calculate

       W = -20 9.8 sin 34 3.9

        W = -427.4 J

The work done by the component perpendicular to the plane is ero because the angle between the displacement and the weight component is 90º, so the cosine is zero.

A uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T is directed along the positive x axis. A proton moving with a speed of 60 km s enters this fi
tatuchka [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Speed of the proton, v = 60 km/s = 60000 m/s

The helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm, p = 0.005 m

We need to find the  angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton. The pitch of the helix is the product of parallel component of velocity and time period. Mathematically, it is given by :

p=v_{||}\times T

p=v\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{2\pi m}{Bq}

cos\theta=\dfrac{pBq}{2\pi mv}

cos\theta=\dfrac{0.005\times 0.5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 60000}

\theta=50.58^{\circ}

So, the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton is 50.58 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
