Answer:
a) the capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use resources effectively.
Explanation:
Psychology can be defined as the scientific study of both the consciousness and unconsciousness of the human mind such as feelings, emotions and thoughts, so as to understand how it functions and affect human behaviors in contextual terms.
This ultimately implies that, psychology focuses on studying behaviors and the mind that controls it.
In this scenario, Ashley who is a psychology major, stated that she's interested in the study of intelligence.
Intelligence can be defined as a measure of the ability of an individual to think, learn, proffer solutions to day-to-day life problems and effectively make informed decisions.
In other words, Ashley is interested in the capacity of humans to understand the world, think rationally, and use resources effectively to produce goods and services that meet the unending requirements, needs or wants of the people (consumers or end users) living around the world.

A 55kg bungee jumper has fallen far enough that her bungee cord is beginning to stretch and resist her downward motion . Find the ( magnitude and direction ) exerted on her by the bungee cord at an instant when her downward acceleration has a magnitude of 7.1m/s2
Answer:
148.5 N
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a bungee jumper, m = 55 kg
The downward acceleration, a = 7.1 m/s²
We need to find the net force acting on the jumper. As it is moving in downward direction, net force is :
T = m(g-a)
Put all the values,
T = 55(9.8 - 7.1)
= 148.5 N
So, the force exerted on the bungee cord is 148.5 N.
Answer:
The downward force is 148.5 N.
Explanation:
mass, m = 55 kg
downwards acceleration, a = 7.1 m/s^2
Let the force is F.
According to the newton's second law
m g - F = m a
F = m (g - a)
F = 55 (9.8 - 7.1)
F = 148.5 N

Answer:
x = 9.32 cm
Explanation:
For this exercise we have an applied torque and the bar is in equilibrium, which is why we use the endowment equilibrium equation
Suppose the counterclockwise turn is positive, let's set our reference frame at the left end of the bar
- W l / 2 - W_{child} x + N₂ l = 0
x = [tex]\frac{-W l/2 + n_2 l}{W_{child}}[/tex] 1)
now let's use the expression for translational equilibrium
N₁ - W - W_(child) + N₂ = 0
indicate that N₂ = 4 N₁
we substitute
N₁ - W - W_child + 4 N₁ = 0
5 N₁ -W - W_{child} = 0
N₁ = ( W + W_{child}) / 5
we calculate
N₁ = (450 + 250) / 5
N₁ = 140 N
we calculate with equation 1
x = -250 1.50 + 4 140 3) / 140
x = 9.32 cm

A 2.0 kg puck is at rest on a level table. It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go. How far does the puck move from rest in 2.25 s?
Answer:
d = 6.32 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a puck, m = 2 kg
It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go.
We need to find the distance covered by the puck when move from rest in 2.25 s.
We know that,
F = ma
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Let d is the distance moved in 2.25 s. Using second equation of motion,
[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times (2.25)^2\\\\d=6.32\ m[/tex]
So, it will move 6.32 m from rest in 2.25 seconds.
given A=4i-10j and B= 7i+5j find b such that A+bB is a vector pointing along the x-axis (i.e has no y component)
Answer:
-4/7
Explanation:
Given the following
A=4i-10j and B= 7i+5j
A+ bB = 4i-10j + (7i+5j)b
A+ bB = 4i-10j + 7ib+5jb
A+ bB =
The vector along the x-axis is expressed as i + 0j
If the vector A+ bB is pointing in the direction of the x-axis then;
[tex]A+ bB * \frac{i+0j}{|i+0j|} = 0 \\ (4+7b)i-(10-5b)j* \frac{i+0j}{\sqrt{1^2+0^2} } = 0\\(4+7b)i-(10-5b)j *(i+0j) = 0\\4+7b-0 =0\\7b=-4\\b = -4/7[/tex]
Hence the value of b is -4/7
The value of [tex]\beta[/tex] such that [tex]\vec C = \vec A + \beta \cdot \vec B = c\,\hat{i}[/tex] is 2.
According to the statement, we have following system of vectorial equations:
[tex]\vec A = 4\,\hat {i} - 10\,\hat{j}[/tex] (1)
[tex]\vec {B} = 7\,\hat{i} + 5\,\hat{j}[/tex] (2)
[tex]\vec C = \vec A + \beta \cdot \vec B = c\,\hat{i}[/tex] (3)
By applying (1) and (2) in (3):
[tex](4\,\hat{i}-10\,\hat{j}) + \beta\cdot (7\,\hat{i}+5\,\hat{j}) = c\,\hat{i}[/tex]
[tex](4+7\cdot \beta)\,\hat{i} +(-10+5\cdot \beta)\,\hat{j} = c\,\hat{i}[/tex]
And we get two scalar equations after analyzing each component:
[tex]4+7\cdot \beta = c[/tex] (4)
[tex]-10+5\cdot \beta = 0[/tex] (5)

An object is acted upon by two and only two forces that are equal magnitude and oppositely directed. Is the objected necessarily in static equilibrium? Explain. You can draw a picture if that helps explain.
Answer:
the body is subjected to a continuous rotation and the body is not in rotational equilibrium
Explanation:
For an object to have a static equilibrium, it must meet two relationships
∑ F = 0
∑ τ =0
force acting on a body fulfills the relation of
sum F = F - F = 0
when two forces do not move from position.
To find the torque we assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive
Σ τ = - F r - F r
Στ = -2 Fr <> 0
consequently the body is subjected to a continuous rotation and the body is not in rotational equilibrium

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 6 months. The lines of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 64,000 m/s. What are the masses of the two stars
Answer:
the masses of the two stars are; m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Time period = 6 months = 1.577 × 10⁷ s
orbital speed v = 64000 m/s
since its a circular orbit,
v = 2πr / T
we solve for r
r = vT/ 2π
r = ( 64000 × 1.577 × 10⁷ ) / 2π
r = 1.6063 × 10¹¹ m = ( (1.6063 × 10¹¹) / (1.496 × 10¹¹) )AU = 1.0737 AU
Now, from Kepler's law
T² = r³ / ( m₁ + m₂ )
T = 6 months = 0.5 years
we substitute
(0.5)² = (1.0737)³ / ( m₁ + m₂ )
0.25 = 1.2378 / ( m₁ + m₂ )
( m₁ + m₂ ) = 1.2378 / 0.25
( m₁ + m₂ ) = 4.9512
m₁ = m₂ = 4.9512 / 2 = 2.4756 solar mass
we know that solar mass = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
so
m₁ = m₂ = 2.4756 × 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg
Therefore, the masses of the two stars are; m₁ = m₂ = 4.92 × 10³⁰ kg
Four identical balls are thrown from the top of a cliff, each with the same speed. The
first is thrown straight up, the second is thrown at 30° above the horizontal, the third
at 30° below the horizontal, and the fourth straight down. How do the speeds and
kinetic energies of the balls compare as they strike the ground? Ignore the effects of
air resistance. Explain fully using the concepts from this unit.
The comparison of the speeds and kinetic energy of the identical balls are as follows
The speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal
The reason for the above comparison results areas follows;
Known parameters;
First ball is thrown straight up
Second ball is thrown 30° above the horizontal
Third ball it thrown 30° below the horizontal
The fourth ball is thrown straight down
Unknown:
Comparison of the speed and kinetic energy of the four balls
Method:
The kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2) × m × v²
The velocity of the ball, v = u × sin(θ)
Where;
u = The initial velocity of the ball
θ = The reference angle
For the first ball thrown straight up, we have;
θ = 90°
∴ [tex]v_y[/tex] = u
The final velocity of the ball as it strikes the ground is v₂ = u² + 2gh
Where;
h = The height of the cliff
∴ Kinetic energy of first ball, K.E.₁ = (1/2) × m × (u₁² + 2gh)²
For the second ball thrown 30° to the horizontal, we have;
K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²
Kinetic energy K.E.₂ = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u₂)² + 2·g·h)²
For the third ball thrown at 30° below the horizontal, we have;K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²
Kinetic energy K.E.₃ = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u₃)² + 2·g·h)²
For the fourth ball thrown straight down, we have;Kinetic energy K.E.₄ = (1/2) × m × (u₄² + 2gh)²
Therefore, as the ball strike the ground, the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal
u₁ = u₄, K.E₁ = K.E.₄, u₂ = u₃, K.E₂ = K.E.₃

Explanation:
Hey there!
According to the question;
A person can lift mass of 60 kg on earth.
mass(m1) = 60kg
acceleration due to gravity on earth (a) = 9.8m/s²
Now;
force (f) = m.a

Since, there is application of same magnitude of force on moon,
mass(m) =?
acceleration due to gravity on moon (a) = 1.67m/s²
Now;
force (f) = m.a
588 = m*1.67
m = 352.09 kg
Therefore, the person who can lift the mass of 60 kg on earth can lift mass of 352 kg on moon.
