1 While Victor was a typical boy in Mexico, his move to the United States changed him. While he once thrived in school and sports, he has become the class clown, prejudiced towards other colors, and combative. This rather extreme and sudden change can be attributed to classical conditioning.
Classical conditioning is learning by association (Changingminds.org, 2015). For instance, a rat can be taught to avoid sweet tasting liquid if after each time they drink the liquid they are injected with something that makes them sick (Changingminds.org, 2015). They learn to associate being sick with the sweet liquid, and will ...

1. A 55 gal. drum of organic solvent, full and sealed, weighs 400 lbs. The empty drum weights 40 lbs. What is the density of the solvent, in kg/L? What is its specific gravity?
Variables:
Vdrum = 55 gal. = 0.208 m3
mempty = 40 lbs = 18.14 Kg
mfull = 400 lbs = 181.44 Kg
msolvent = ?
ρsolvent = ?
Relationships:
msolvent = mfull – mempty

ρ = m/V
Computation:
msolvent = 163.29 Kg
ρsolvent = msolvent/Vdrum = 163.29Kg/0.208m3 = 785.05 Kg/m3

A semiconductor laser is a device that converts electrical energy into light. It consists of a semiconductor material, whose conductivity is between that of conductors and insulators. These kinds of a laser usually consist of two basic components, an optical amplifier and a resonator (“Semiconductor Laser”, n.d.). The amplifier, referred to as the gain medium, is made of a direct-bandgap semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide or indium phosphide. The amplifier can interact with light by absorbing and emitting photons (“Laser”, n.d.). The amplitude of stimulated light emission is greater than that of light absorption, and the light is therefore amplified (“Laser”, n.d.). The ...
