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.

In a playground, there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.20 m and mass 160 kg. Its radius of gyration is 91.0 cm. (Radius of
aksik [14]

Answer:

a) 145.6kgm^2

b) 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) 0.76rads/s

Explanation:

Complete qestion: a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation 

(b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child, while running, about the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round and

(c) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and child after the child has jumped on.

a) From I = MK^2

I = (160Kg)(0.91m)^2

I = 145.6kgm^2

b) The magnitude of the angular momentum is given by:

L= r × p The raduis and momentum are perpendicular.

L = r × mc

L = (1.20m)(44.0kg)(3.0m/s)

L = 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) The total moment of inertia comprises of the merry- go - round and the child. the angular speed is given by:

L = Iw

158.4kgm^2/s = [145kgm^2 + ( 44.0kg)(1.20)^2]

w = 158.6/208.96

w = 0.76rad/s

What is the overall moment?
Setler79 [48]
A moment causes a rotation about or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point...... the total moment was zero because the moment arm was zero as well

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?
AleksandrR [38]

The angle at which the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area is 10°. Last option is correct.

<h3>What is sunlight?</h3>

The light coming from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is called as Sunlight.

When the sun is overhead, the intensity is high because sun's rays are perpendicular to the earth's surface, so the energy spreads over a small area and the heat is too high in that region.

When, the angle is smaller, the sunlight will spread out over a larger area.

Thus, at 10° the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area. Last option is correct.
