You want to determine whether the race of the defendant has an impact on jury verdicts. You assign participants to watch a trial

with either a Hispanic or Caucasian defendant, and you measure on a 1 (not at all) to 7 (very) scale how confident they feel the defendant is guilty. This is a confidence scale represents a _________ scale of measurement

Answer:

The confidence scale represents an ordinal scale of measurement

Explanation:

An ordinal scale or level of measurement is used to measure attributes that can be ranked or ordered, but the interval between the attributes do not have quantitative significance. In this case, the measurement was done on a scale of 1 - 7, with a "1" being; not all that race of defendant has an impact on jury verdicts and a "7" being "very" meaning that race indeed has impact on jury verdicts. Another example can be a survey carried out on the level of customer satisfaction on a particular product, with "1" most dissatisfied and "10 " representing most satisfied. In the first example, it is wrong to say that the difference between 1 being "not at all" and maybe 3 is the same as the difference between 5 and 7 which have different connotations, because the numbers are merely for tagging and not to quantify.

Other levels of measurement include:

1. Nominal: this is the simplest level of measurement and it is simply used to categorize the attributes. Example is taking a survey on gender in the categories of male, female and transgender.

2. Interval: the interval scale is used when the distance between two attributes have meanings but there is no true zero value associated with the scale.

3. Ratio: this combines all the other three levels of measurement and is used to categorize, used to show ranking, has meaningful distances between the attributes and the scale has a true zero point. Example is the measurement of temperature using the celcius scale thermometer, where there is a true zero point at 0°C and the distance between 5°C and 10°C is the same as the distance between 10°C and 15°C.

A battery is an electromechanical device. a)- True b)- False
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b)False

Explanation:

A battery is a device which store the energy in the form of chemical energy.And this stored energy is used according to the requirement.So battery is not a electromechanical device.Because it does have any mechanical component like gear ,shaft flywheel etc.

A flywheel is known as mechanical battery because it stored mechanical energy and supply that energy when more energy is required.Generally fly wheel is used during punching operation.

The 15-kg block A slides on the surface for which µk = 0.3. The block has a velocity v = 10 m/s when it is s = 4 m from the 10-k
sammy [17]

Answer:

s_max = 0.8394m

Explanation:

From equilibrium of block, N = W = mg

Frictional force = μ_k•N = μ_k•mg

Since μ_k = 0.3,then F = 0.3mg

To determine the velocity of Block A just before collision, let's apply the principle of work and energy;

T1 + ΣU_1-2 = T2

So, (1/2)m_a•(v_ao)² - F•s =(1/2)m_a•(v_a1)²

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

(1/2)•(15)•(10)² - (0.3•15•9.81•4) =(1/2)(15)•(v_a1)²

750 - 176.58 = 7.5(v_a1)²

v_a1 = 8.744 m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum;

Σ(m1v1) = Σ(m2v2)

Thus,

m_a•v_a1 + m_b•v_b1 = m_a•v_a2 + m_b•v_b2

Thus;

15(8.744) + 10(0) = 15(v_a2) + 10(v_b2)

Divide through by 5;

3(8.744) + 2(0) = 3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2)

Thus,

3(v_a2) + 2(v_b2) = 26.232 - - - (eq1)

Coefficient of restitution has a formula;

e = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(v_a1 - v_b1)

From the question, e = 0.6.

Thus;

0.6 = (v_b2 - v_a2)/(8.744 - 0)

0.6 x 8.744 = (v_b2 - v_a2)

(v_b2 - v_a2) = 5.246 - - - (eq2)

Solving eq(1) and 2 simultaneously, we have;

v_b2 = 8.394 m/s

v_a2 = 3.148 m/s

Now, to find maximum compression, let's apply conservation of energy on block B;

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

Thus,

(1/2)m_b•(v_b2)² + (1/2)k(s_1)² = (1/2)m_b•(v_b'2)² + (1/2)k(s_max)²

(1/2)10•(8.394)² + (1/2)1000(0)² = (1/2)10•(0)² + (1/2)(1000)(s_max)²

500(s_max)² = 352.29618

(s_max)² = 352.29618/500

(s_max)² = 0.7046

s_max = 0.8394m

A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027
Pachacha [2.7K]

Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = \frac{d}{2} = 3 inches

density,  \rho} = 493 lbm/ ft^{3}

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ m^{2} = 386.22 inch/ s^{2}

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2V\rho  g}{A \rho C_{d}}}              (1)

(Since, m = V\times \rho)

where,

V = volume of sphere

C_{d} = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Volume of sphere, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho  g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}  

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

v_{T} = \frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}} inch/sec
