QUESTION: A study group of students is reviewing claims in an article that gamma rays are among the most dangerous type of elect

romagnetic radiation, because of the high energy of the waves. How should the students decide if this claim is reliable? (2 points) (A)They should look at what country the study was done in. (B)They should see if there are any sources of bias. (C)They should vote on it. (D)They should create an online poll.

B

Bias is an inclination towards one way of thinking due to inherent factors in our environment, such as how one was brought up.

Explanation:

In science, biases, conscious or unconscious, tend to make experiments’ results to incline in particular way rather than being impartial. Peer- review of scientific journals by the scientific community is meant to be a quality assurance measure to detect such biases. The students should check reviews of the scientific community on the article and see if any biases have been pointed out.  Probably the institution that the scientist works for is in competition with another institution that deals with gamma rays.

The correct answer is (B)They should see if there are any sources of bias.

Explanation:

The information in any source can be considered reliable if the information is objective and supported with evidence. This implies, there are no sources of bias such as personal interest or stereotypes that can influence the accuracy of the information. Also, it is recommended the author is an expert in the field, and he/she provides evidence.

According to this, the best way for the group of students to decide if the claim of the article is reliable is to analyze if there are any sources of bias because if the information is influenced by interests, belief, etc (biased information) then the claim is likely to be unreliable.

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

A nylon guitar string is fixed between two lab posts 2.00 m apart. The string has a linear mass density of μ=7.20 g/m\mu=7.20~\t
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

4.6 m

Explanation:

First of all, we can find the frequency of the wave in the string with the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

where we have

L = 2.00 m is the length of the string

T = 160.00 N is the tension

\mu =7.20 g/m = 0.0072 kg/m is the mass linear density

Solving the equation,

f=\frac{1}{2(2.00 m)}\sqrt{\frac{160.00 N}{0.0072 kg/m}}=37.3 Hz

The frequency of the wave in the string is transmitted into the tube, which oscillates resonating at same frequency.

The n=1 mode (fundamental frequency) of an open-open tube is given by

f=\frac{v}{2L}

where

v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound

Using f = 37.3 Hz and re-arranging the equation, we find L, the length of the tube:

L=\frac{v}{2f}=\frac{343 m/s}{2(37.3 Hz)}=4.6 m

We can model the human back as a pivoted rod?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

So the answer is yes, we can the back be shaped like a spinning rod

spinal column that is approximated by a long and narrow rod,

Explanation:

The bone system of the body is very well modeled in physics, the back has a spinal column that is approximated by a long and narrow rod, this rod is fixed in the lower part to the coccyx and has a weight in the upper part (head), this rod has longitudinal vertical movement and twisting movement around the lower part of the bar.

So the answer is yes, we can the back be shaped like a spinning rod
