Answer:

Confirmation bias, described in 1998 [3] as “seeking or interpreting evidence in ways that are partial to existing beliefs, expectations, or a hypothesis in hand,” is one type of cognitive bias with the potential to undermine the objective evaluation of forensic evidence.

A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)

timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.

the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards

the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity ↑ downward motion for velocity ↓

↑ ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

↓

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

0.56 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the number of moles of the gas.

We know that

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

$Mm=44.0 g/mol$ is the molar mass of the carbon dioxide

So, the number of moles of the gas is

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.023 mol$

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas equation:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the pressure

$V=1.00 L = 0.001 m^3$ is the volume

n = 0.023 mol is the number of moles

$R=8.314 J/mol K$ is the gas constant

$T=25.0^{\circ}+273=298 K$ is the temperature of the gas

Solving the equation for p, we find

$p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.023 mol)(8.314 J/mol K)(298 K)}{0.001 m^3}=5.7 \cdot 10^4 Pa$

And since we have

$1 atm = 1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa$

the pressure in atmospheres is

$p=\frac{5.7\cdot 10^4 Pa}{1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa/atm}=0.56 atm$

The de Broglie wave is produced only by sub atomic particle and photon. O True O False

Alina [70]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Matter can be in the form of a particle or a wave. This is known as the dual nature of matter. This concept was proposed by Louis de Broglie and was named after him. This phenomenon has been observed for all the elementary particles.

The de Broglie wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv}$

Where

h = Planck's constant

p = Particles momentum

m = Mass of particle

v = Velocity of particle
