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.

Identify the physical mechanism that causes turbulent thermal conductivity.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Eddies due to enhanced mixing of fluid

Explanation:

Turbulent thermal conductivity is thermal conductivity that arises from the turbulent flow of fluids. It comes into play when a particukar fluid moves into turbulent regiom of flow where flow is no longer orderly and streamlines aren't discernable with the fluid layers all warping into one another forming vortices.

It is represented as K and is shown mathematically through the heat flux at turbulent flow

q = vCρT' = - K (∂T/∂y)

where

K = turbulent thermal conductivity

T' = the eddy temperature relative to the mean value,

C = Heat capacity the fluid

q = the rate of thermal energy transport by turbulent eddies.

The physical mechanism that cause turbulent thermal conductivity are similar to the causes of turbulent flow of fluids.

This includes sharp changes in fluid pressure and velocity of flow which is evident in eddies that come about in the enhanced mixing of fluids.

Hope this Helps!!!

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about . 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 ne
Annette [7]
First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
                                   m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto. 
                                  W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.
