What do scientitsts do to easily share mesurment data they can understand

There are a few ways to do this- unfortunately different fields are better at it than others! Medical research is generally pretty good, some other fields likewise very good, some not as much. Basically, though, what they do is use standadisation- they agree on the terminology, units of data, statistical measures, and so forth, that will be used in that scientific field. As much as possible, every scientist in the field uses those standards so everyone working in the field should recognise it. For instance, in clinical trials, there is very good agreement worldwide on what the different metrics we use are- e.g. in cancer research, we usually want to know the 5-year survival rate (meaning the percentage of patients still alive 5 years after diagnosis). So anyone with the right training should be able to pick up a clinical trial report and understand what the results are and what the report is saying.

How does a firm calculate its profit? total revenue minus marginal revenue variable cost plus total cost total revenue minus tot

Svetach [21]

The correct answer is total revenue minus total cost.

When a firm is calculating the profit they need to find the difference between how much money they earned and how much they spent. The difference between their total revenue and their total cost is their profit.

cestrela7 [59]

Frequency division multiplexing operates by dividing the signal into different frequencies

<u>Explanation:</u>

The technique that is used in the networking is the Frequency Division Multiplexing. using this technique, the existing bandwidths can be partitioned into different frequency bandwidths. These are not interrupting with each other. Each bandwidth can be used for carrying signals individually.

Using this technique many users can share a particular communication medium and they will not be interrupted with each other's communication.Hence this technique can also be termed as Frequency Division Multiple Access.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of oxygen from -30c to -15c?

Naddika [18.5K]

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cs is its specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

For oxygen, the specific heat capacity is approximately
$C_s = 0.92 J/(g K)$
The variation of temperature for the sample in our problem is
$\Delta T= -15^{\circ}C-(-30^{\circ} C)=+15^{\circ}C=15 K$
while the mass is m=150 g, so the amount of heat needed is
$Q=m C_s \Delta T=(150 g)(0.92 J/g K)(15 K)=2070 J$

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 52.5-g piton from a height of 325 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th

alex41 [277]

Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl

-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
