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.

A horizontal sheet of negative charge has a uniform electric field E = 3000N/C. Calculate the electric potential at a point 0.7m
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Electric potential, E = 2100 volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field, E = 3000 N/C

We need to find the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface, d = 0.7 m

The electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d

V=3000\ N/C\times 0.7\ m

V = 2100 volts

So, the electric potential at a point 0.7 m above the surface is 2100 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0   ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t   ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt=  6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Some neodymium glass lasers can provide 100TW of power in 1.0 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.26 micrometers. how much energy is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

 E = 10⁵ J

Explanation:

given,

Power, P = 100 TW

           = 100 x 10¹² W

time, t = 1 ns

           = 1 x 10⁻⁹ s

The energy of a single pulse is:-

Energy = Power x time

 E = P t

 E = 100 x 10¹² x 1 x 10⁻⁹

 E = 10⁵ J

The energy contained in a single pulse is equal to 10⁵ J
