A.) reference group
"A reference group includes individuals or groups that influence our opinions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. They often serve as our role models and inspiration"(study.com).
The correct answer (d.) epistemology. The major contribution of the French philosopher Rene Descartes was in the realm of epistemology. Epistemology is the theory of knowledge, including methods, validity, and its scope. It could also be concluded to separate justified fact from an opinion.
Answer:
a)5.88J
b)-5.88J
c)0.78m
d)0.24m
Explanation:
a) W by the block on spring is given by
W= 
kx² = (530)(0.149)² = 5.88 J
b) Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J
c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom
So, mg
= kx² - mgx
And, = ( kx² - mgx
)/(mg) = 
]/(0.645x9.8)
= 0.78m
d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3
= 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m
then, kx² - mgx - mg =0
(530)x² - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0
265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0
a=265
b=-6.321
c=-14.8
By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots
x= 0.24 or x=-0.225
Considering only positive root:
x= 0.24m (maximum compression of the spring)
Current in the wire = 2 A
Explanation:
the magnetic field is given by
B= \frac{\mu i}{2\pi r}
μo= 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A
i= current
r=0.02 m
B = magnetic field= 2 x 10⁻⁵ T
2 x 10⁻⁵= (4π x 10⁻⁷)(i) / (2π*0.02)
i=2 A
Answer: 1.13 X 10^3 g or 1130 g
Explanation: When you add up everything, you will get 1134.1288 g = 1.11341218 X 10^3. But while adding significant figures, we always look for the least significant figures (here 4.65 has least sig. figures i.e. 3) and take that as a reference to how many significant figures we should have in the answer. (Pretty hard to explain!) Hope you got it!!
