Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. The re

searchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. Then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. They left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. When the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. The researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth.
Which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified?
The experiment tested too many variables.
The control group was not treated the same as the experimental group.
The sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough.
The single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The control group was not treated the same as the experimental group.

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the predicted hypothesis which in the given case is that "different hand sanitizes have a different effect on the growth of the bacteria".

The researcher divides 24 samples into two groups- 18 Petri-dishes divided into 3 groups with 6 Petri dish receiving different sanitizers each and rest 6 as control samples without treatment of the hand sanitizers.

The researcher performed the mistake while doing the experiment as he opened the experimental Petri dishes and kept them open whereas in the control group he kept the Petri dish closed which lead to the error in the results as the control showed least growth of the bacteria which should be high.  

This happened because the control and the experimental samples were not provided with the same question and thus is the correct answer.

A metal wire breaks when its tension reaches 100 newton. If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would br
serg [7]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Since Young's modulus for the metal, E = σ/ε where σ = stress = F/A where F = force on metal and A = cross-sectional area, and ε = strain = e/L where e = extension of metal = change in length and L = length of metal wire.

So,  E = σ/ε = FL/eA

Now, since at break extension = e.

So making e subject of the formula, we have

e = FL/EA = FL/Eπr² where r = radius of metal wire

Now, when the radius and length are doubled, we have our extension as e' = F'L'/Eπr'² where F' = new force on metal wire, L' = new length = 2L and r' = new radius = 2r

So, e' = F'(2L)/Eπ(2r)²

e' = 2F'L/4Eπr²

e' = F'L/2Eπr²

Since at breakage, both extensions are the same, e = e'

So,  FL/Eπr² = F'L/2Eπr²

F = F'/2

F' = 2F

Since F = 100 N,

F' = 2 × 100 N = 200 N

So, If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would break when the tension reached 200 Newtons.

How can energy be converted from one form to another?
Ket [755]
By heat or change in matter,
there can be different reactions that create heat (like exothermic or endothermic reactions)
or movement can give off energy too,

What is electrostatic repulsion?
Anton [14]
Electrostatic repulsion is the force between two charges having the same sign, that tends to separate them further. The force is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

v'_2=3V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed v_1=5 m/s

Beach ball Speed v_2=2 m/s

Let The Mass be equal i.e

 M_1=M_2

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision v'_2 is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

 v'_2=v_1-v_2

 v'_2=5-2

 v'_2=3V

A fixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 A should draw a maximum current of A. 30 A. B. 24 A. C. 15
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation

Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.

The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.

Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).
