As part of his work for NASA, Dr. Murdock was asked to find out what percentage of people in the continental united States saw H

aley's Comet when it was last visible. He randomly selected three major cities, Seattle, Cleveland, and Boston, and polled 1000 randomly selected people from these cities. He finds that fewer than 5% of the people he interviewed saw the comet, so he concludes that fewer than 5% of people in the continental United States saw the comet.
Required:
Discuss whether Murdock is using a generalization or an analogy, name the sample and the target, and discuss whether there are any fallacies present in the argument (if so, why; if not, why not?).

Answer:

Please, in the Explanation section you will find the explanation of the answer.

Explanation:

The exercise shows the continental United States and 3 cities used in the study carried out by Murdock. It can be said that the sample taken is part of the objective. There are several inconsistencies in Murdock's argument: the first has to do with the fact that the sample that was taken cannot represent the entire American population. A much larger, scientifically calculated sample would be required. The second is that their study did not take into account small cities or people living in the interior of the United States.

Which material is a conductor​
9966 [12]

Answer:

Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons. Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors. Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, and silver. Some common insulators are glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.

A 56.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 11.2 s, what is
andre [41]

Answer:

2.80N/m

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 56kg

perios T= 11.2s

The expression for the period is given as

T=2π√m/k

Substitute

11.2= 2*3.142*√56/k

square both sides

11.2^2= 2*3.142*56/k

125.44= 351.904/k

k=351.904/125.44

k= 2.80N/m

Hence the spring constant is 2.80N/m

A 40kg rock falls off a cliff that is 50 meters high. How fast is the speed of the rock when it hits the ground
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

31.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 40kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Unknown:

Speed of rock when it hits ground = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem

The rock is falling with the aid of gravitational force. The force is causing it to accelerate with an amount of velocity.

  Using;

                      V²  = U² + 2gH

V = unknown velocity

U = initial velocity = O

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H = height of fall

since the initial velocity of the bodyg is 0

     V²  = 2gH

    V= √2gH = √2 x 9.8 x 50 = 31.3m/s

Which among the following statement/s is correct?
seropon [69]

Answer:

(D) None

Explanation:

The force of gravity is the force pulling every element of matter together. The more the matter the higher the force of gravity.

Examples of this force at work are;

  • The force that causes an apple to fall from the tree
  • The force that causes a rock to roll downside a hill
  • The force causing people to walk on the earth surface instead of floating

The force that facilitates a pen on your hand to write on a paper is friction force between the pen and the paper. Gravitational force acts downwards thus force applied on an object beside you is not the force of gravity.
