Answer:-  C. A person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Explanation:-

  • Illusory correlation is a type of correlation in which we relate two unrelated variables.

In statement C. it is said that a person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show there is no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Thus, here is a correlation between unrelated variables.

Hence, "C" is the scenario which best illustrates the concept of illusory correlation.

Illusory correlation is when a relationship between two variables is perceived even though it does not exist. An example of this is C.

A ball of mass m is thrown straight upward from ground level at speed v0. At the same instant, at a distance D above the ground,
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the balls collide after time t .

distance covered by falling ball

s₁ = v₀ t + 1/2 g t²

distance covered by rising ball

s₂ = v₀ t - 1/2 g t²

Given ,

s₁ + s₂ = D

D = v₀ t + 1/2 g t² + v₀ t - 1/2 g t²

= 2v₀ t

t = D / 2v₀

s₂ = v₀ t - 1/2 g t²

= v₀ x D / 2v₀ - (1/2) x  g x D² / 4v₀²

= D / 2 - gD² / 8 v₀²

Jane has a mass of 55 kg and his body covers 700 nails with a surface area of 1.00 mm,
Oksana_A [137]

We have,

  • Jane mass is 55 kg
  • His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

  • Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

  • F = ma
  • F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
  • F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/7 × 10000
  • P = 5390000/7
  • P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

  • P = F/A
  • P = 539/1 × 1000000
  • P = 539000000 Pascal

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south
