Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R

ocket A, which requires additional equipment to keep it stable, is used to test one fuel mixture, and rocket B is used to test the other. Both rockets are identical aside from their mass. The results indicate that rocket B traveled farther than rocket A over the same period of time. Experiment 2: A double-blind experiment is performed to test whether a new drug is effective in lowering blood pressure. A random sample of subjects with high blood pressure is assigned to two groups. One group receives the new drug and the other group does not. Neither group is permitted to take any other medications during the experiment or to change their lifestyles in any way. The results of the experiment show that the drug is effective in lowering blood pressure.
Identify the experiment in which confounding occurs and the reason for its occurrence.

a. Neither experiment has a confounding variable.
b. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the fuel mixtures. Varying the fuel mixture could skew the results of the study and should be kept constant.
c. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the type of experiment. A double-blind experiment may increase the risk of the placebo effect and possibly skew the results.
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
e. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the subjects used. Choosing a sample of subjects with high blood pressure instead of individuals with different blood pressure levels may confuse the results.

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!

How acceleration and gravitation (acceleration) are related/different?
mihalych1998 [28]
The source of acceleration (without gravity) is transfer of energy from one object to another or change of its own energy structure so that one of its components changes into increasing energy of motion.
But gravity occurs with no measurable energy transfer nor is the gravitating mass changing its energy structure in order to produce gravity.
If the cause of acceleration and gravity is not related at all is the Equivalence principle just a coincidence that the resulting effects are physically identical and indistinguishable

The stone, which weighs 400 g, is thrown upwards at a speed of 20 m / s. Climbed to a height of 12 m. Determine: what is equal t
maxonik [38]

Given that,

Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg

Initial speed, u = 20 m/s

It is climbed to a height of 12 m.

To find,

The work done by the resistance force.

Solution,

Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.

v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 12} \\\\v=15.33\ m/s

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.4\times (15.33^2-20^2)\\\\=-32.99\ J

So, the required work done is 32.99 J.

I NEED AN ANSWER!
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Before sled starts to move it has a potential energy due to the elevation...and then that potential energy converted to kinetic energy due to presence of a velocity...the sled will continue to move if their is no resesive force...but however friction force is presence that cause the sled to stop....
