s because several of her friends were injured while mountain climbing. B.A person insists that there is no way to determine whether or not any two events are actually correlated. C.A person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show no correlation between the color and safety of cars. D.A person suggests that cigarette smoking is dangerous due to the high rate of lung cancer among smokers.

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.

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{a_cr}

v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}

v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m
sergey [27]

Answer:

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of vehicle, m=1350\ kg
  • radius of curvature, r=71\ m
  • coefficient of friction, \mu=0.23

<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>

m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N

where:

\mu= coefficient of friction

N= normal reaction force due to weight of the car

v= velocity of the car

1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1} is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.
