Students are investigating two steel spheres with the same diameter. One sphere is solid, and the other is hollow. The students
hypothesize that the solid sphere is less likely to dent during a collision than the hollow sphere. Both spheres must experience the exact same amount of force during the collision so that the investigation is valid. Which investigation makes both spheres experience the exact same amount of force during a collision? OA) The spheres are dropped to the floor by the same person. OB) The spheres are thrown against a wall by the same person O c) The spheres are rolled toward each other and collide with each other. O DJ The spheres are rolled toward the same wall and collide with the wall.
The basic research is a type of research that mainly aims to increase the existing base of the scientific knowledge and hence, in the case of psychology the basic research would increase the knowledge about psychology.
Therefore, the purpose of basic research is to add up to the knowledge that already exists.
The research that is conducted to especially solve certain problems or answer specific questions is called applied research. Its main aim is to find out the solution for a given problem.
Therefore, in the case of psychology applied research is conducted to explore practical problems.
