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

result.While he may indeed get a significant result, what are the potential problems?

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.

Which trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Atomic size

Explanation:

In the periodic table , atomic size is indirectly proportional to the effective nuclear charge .the atomic size reduces from left to right across the table. This is because electrons are added to the same shell.

A 220 g mass is on a frictionless horizontal surface at the end of a spring that has force constant of 7.0
Talja [164]

The concept of conservation of energy and harmonic motion allows to find the result for the power where the kinetic and potential energy are equal is:

        x = 0.135 cm

Given parameters

  • The mass m = 220 g = 0.220 kg
  • The spring cosntnate3 k = 7.0 N / m
  • Initial displacement A = 5.2 cm = 5.2 10-2 m

To find

  • The position where the kinetic and potential energy are equal

 

A simple harmonic movement is a movement where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement, the result of this movement is described by the expression.

          x = A cos wt + fi

          w² = \frac{k}{m}

Where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position, A the initial amplitude of the system, w the angular velocity t the time, fi a phase constant determined by the initial conditions, k the spring constant and m the mass.

The speed is defined by the variation of the position with respect to time.

       v = \frac{dx}{dt}

let's evaluate

       v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

Since the body releases for a time t = 0 the velocity is zero, therefore the expression remains.

       0 = - A w sin Ф

For the equality to be correct, the sine function must be zero, this implies that the phase constant is zero

        x = A cos wt

Let's find the point where the kinetic and potential energy are equal.

        K = U

        ½ m v² = m g x

       

we substitute

        ½ A² w² sin² wt = g A cos wt

        sin² wt = \frac{2g}{A}  cos wt

let's calculate

      w = \sqrt{\frac{7}{0.220} }  

      w = 5.64 rad / s

      sin² 5.64t = 2 9.8 / 0.052 cos 5.64t

      sin² 5.64t = 376.92 cos 5.64 t

      1 - cos² 5.64t = 376.92 cos 5.64t

      cos² 5.64t -376.92 cos564t -1 = 0

we make the change of variable

       x = cos 5.64t

      x²- 376.92 x - 1 = 0

      x = 0.026

      cos 5.64t = 0.026

   

Let's find the displacement for this time

       x = 5.2 10-2 0.026

       x = 1.35 10-3 m

In conclusion Using the concepts of conservation of energy and harmonic motion we can find the result for the could where the kientic and potential enegies are equal is:

        x = 0.135 cm

A spectroscope:
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Measures light from distant objects

Explanation:

A spectroscope is used to measure the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of.

It could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use.

Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory says that "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source"
