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!

A batter hits a baseball with a bat. The bat exerts a force on the ball. Does the ball exert a force on the bat?
Mazyrski [523]
Yes, think about the difference of swinging a bat and not hitting a ball. It's fairly easy right? Now, when you hit a ball with the bat, you will feel the bat sting your hands. That's the force the ball is exerting on the bat!

To counter the effects of centrifugal force and reduce vehicle traction it is important to to counter the effects of centrifugal
tatiyna
Answer:  Add an incline or grade to the road track.

Explanation:
Refer to the figure shown below.

When a vehicle travels on a level road in a circular path of radius r, a centrifugal force, F, tends to make the vehicle skid away from the center of the circular path.
The magnitude of the force is
F = mv²/r
where
m = mass of the vehicle
v =  linear (tangential) velocity to the circular path.

The force that resists the skidding of the vehicle is provided by tractional frictional force at the tires, of magnitude
μN = μW = μmg
where
μ = dynamic coefficient of friction.

At high speeds, the frictional force will not overcome the centrifugal force, and the vehicle will skid.

When an incline of θ degrees is added to the road track, the frictional force is augmented by the component of the weight of the vehicle along the incline.
 Therefore the force that opposes the centrifugal force becomes
μN + Wsinθ = W(sinθ + μ cosθ).
