Why is it important to use placebos and a double-blind approach in some studies

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]3 years ago

Another name for these two words is "constant" and you want to have a "constant", because you want something to compare your experimental group to, to see whether data had changed or not. So you have placebos or a double- blind to compare your experimental group to it and also so you know you don't have a bias or anything in the study.

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.58 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 6.69 m/s. The roof mak
shusha [124]

Answer:

17.3 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a hammer is 0.58 kg

Velocity with which the hammer slides is 6.69 m/s at constant speed.

The roof makes an angle of 18 ◦ with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 18.2 m from the ground. We need to find the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer between the time is leaves the roof of the house and the time it hits the ground. Firstly, we will find the time taken by the hammer when it reaches ground in vertical direction.

y=y_0+v_ot +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Putting all the values,

0=18.2+6.69t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\-4.9t^2+6.69t+18.2=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-6.69+\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}, \dfrac{-6.69-\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}\\\\t=-1.36\ s\ \text{and}\ t=2.72\ s

Neglecting negative value,

To find horizontal distance, multiply 2.72 s with the horizontal component of velocity.

d=2.72\times 6.69\times \cos(18)\\\\d=17.3\ m

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..
Ahat [919]
There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below.
Alika [10]

Newton's second law and the kinematic relations allow to find the results for the questions about forces and the movement of the block are:

    B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

    C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

    D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s

 

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass, and the acceleration of the body. In the special case that the acceleration is zero it is called the equilibrium condition.

B) They indicate a diagram of forces on the block, let's look for the components of the force that the block maintains with zero acceleration, in the attached we have a free-body diagram including the force applied to keep the system in equilibrium.

x-axis

      -10 + 12 sin 60 + Fₓ = 0

        Fₓ = 10- 12 sin 60 = -0.39 N

y-axis

       12 cos 60 - 6 + F_y = 0

        F_y = 6 - 12 cos 60 = 0 N

We can give the result of the force in two ways:

  • Form of coordinates F = -0.39 i ^ N
  • Form of module and angle.

Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the modulus.

       F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2 } \\F = \sqrt{0.39^2 +0^2}  

       F = 0.39N

We use trigonometry for the angle.

       tan \theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

       tan θ=  0º

The component of the force is negative therefore this angle is in the second quadrant, to measure the angle from the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction.

        θ = 180 + θ'

        θ = 180 + 0

        θ = 180º

C) if the three forces can be moved and the maximum force occurs when they are all linear.

          10+ 6 + 6 + F = 0

          F = -24 N

D) if we maintain this force and eliminate the other three, the block stops, let's look for its acceleration.

          a = \frac{F}{m}  

          a = \frac{24}{6}  

         a =  4 m / s²

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity of the block v₀ = -100 m / s

If we use kinematic relations.

        v = v₀ - a t

Final velocity when stopped is zero

         t = \frac{0-v_o}{a}

         t = 100/4

         t = 25 s

In conclusion using Newton's second law and the kinematics relations we can find the results for the questions about the forces and the motion of the block are:

    B) the force applied to maintain the system is equilibrium is: F = 0.39 N with an angle of tea = 180º

    C) The maximum force is: F = 24 N

    D) The time to stop the block is: t = 25 s
