An inexperienced researcher runs an experiment and sets his alpha level at .40 because he can't wait to get his firstsignificant

A potential problem is that you are willing to accept a <u>5% </u>chance of being wrong if you reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that there is a difference when there is actually no difference. Rejecting the true null hypothesis results in a Type I error.

The smaller the value of α the more difficult it is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choosing a low value for α can reduce the likelihood of Type I errors. The result here is that if the null hypothesis is false, it may be more difficult to reject using a lower value for α. The alpha value or statistical significance threshold is arbitrary. Which value to use depends on your field of study.

explain how potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion
KIM [24]

Potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion through the various positions in relation to the bodies involved.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

This law states that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum and is denoted as F = mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

Potential energy is the energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its position while kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Both forms of energy are influenced by forces and are equal to the total momentum.

a physics student throws a stone horizontally off a cliff. one second later, he throws a second identical stone in exactly the s
Virty [35]

The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

The distance traveled by each stone down the cliff is calculated using second kinematic equation;

h = v_0_yt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

where;

  • <em>t is the time of motion </em>
  • <em />v_0_y<em> is the initial vertical velocity of the stone = 0</em>

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

The time taken by the first stone to hit the ground is calculated as;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

When compared to the first stone, the time taken by the second stone to hit the ground after 1 second it was released is calculated as

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } + 1

t_2 = t_1 + 1

Thus, we can conclude that the second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

"<em>Your question is not complete, it seems be missing the following information;"</em>

A. The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

B. The second stone hits the ground less than one second after the first

C. The second stone hits the ground more than one second after the first.

D. The second stone hits the ground at the same time as the first.

The light bulb transfers electrical energy into light. What is one type of energy that is also generated that is NOT a desired e
zimovet [89]

The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light.  If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low. 
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better.  It all depends on your point of view.

A semi-infinite solid is
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. infinitely extended in all directions

Explanation:

A semi infinite solid is infinitely extended in every direction. It has a single surface and can extend when heat is applied.

The body of a semi infinite solid is idealised, that is, when there is heat present, it expands in all directions to infinity. It can be used for a thick wall because its shape can be changed when subjected to different levels of heat near its surface.

It is also expands as heat is applied because its thickness is negligible.

This idealized body is used for earth, thick wall, steel piece of any shaped quenched rapidly etc indetermining variation of temperature near its surface & other surface being too far to have any impact on the region in short period of time since heat doesn’t have sufficient time to penetrate deep into body thus thickness can be neglected
