A study finds that there is a positive correlation between height and math test scores. The researcher concludes that taller peo

ple are better at math. However, another researcher points out that height is also correlated with age, and age is correlated with greater knowledge of math. What issue does this example represent?

Answer:

Spurious relationship

Explanation:

In statistics a spurious relationship is a correlated mathematical  relationship of covariation between two variables or more which by themselves have no cause and effect relationship as a result of a coincidence or the existence of a third or confounding factor

The variables have covariation due to their correlation but they don't have a cause and effect relationship

An example of a spurious relationship is the increase in ice cream sales when there is an observed increase in the rate of drowning.

3) The work done is D. zero

4) The kinetic energy is B. 180 J

5) The potential energy is A. 120 J

6) The work done depends on B. position

7) The example of non-renewable energy is C. coal

8) The power expended is 3\cdot 10^4 W

9) The efficiency is A. 100%

10) The velocity ratio is 5

Explanation:

3)

The work done by a force acting an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

When the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion,

\theta=90^{\circ}

Therefore, the work done is:

W=Fd(cos 90^{\circ})=0

4)

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the girl in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

v = 3 m/s

Therefore her kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(40)(3)^2=180 J

5)

The potential energy of an object is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the ball in this problem,

m = 0.4 kg

h = 30 m

So, the potential energy is

PE=(0.4)(10)(30)=120 J

6)

A conservative field is a field for which the work done by the field on an object does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of the object.

Gravitational and electric fields are examples of conservative fields. In fact:

  • When an object is pulled down by gravity (free fall), the work done by the gravitational field only depends on the change in height \Delta h between the two points, not on the path taken during the fall
  • When an electric charge is pushed by the electric field, the work done by the field depends only on the initial and final position of the charge in the field

For any conservative field, it is possible to define a "potential" function, which represents the energy per unit mass/charge, and depends only on the position of the object.

  • Non-renewable energy sources are sources of energy whose rate of consumption is faster than the rate at which they are re-created. Examples of non-renewable sources are coal, oil, natural gas. These energy sources are consumed at a fast rate, while they take million of years to regenerate, so at the current rate they will eventually run out.
  • Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that replenish at faster rate than the rate at which it is consumed. Examples of renewable sources are solar energy, wind, hydroelectric power.

Therefore, the example of non-renewable energy in this case is

C. Coal

8.

For an object pushed by a force F and moving at a constant velocity v, the power expended is given by

P=Fv

where F is the force and v is the velocity.

for the rocket in this problem, we have:

F = 10 N is the force propelling the rocket

v = 3000 m/s is its velocity

Substituting into the equation, we find the power expended:

P=(10)(3000)=30,000 W = 3\cdot 10^4 W

9.

The efficiency of a machine is given by

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}

where

W_{in} is the energy in input to the machine

W_{out} is the useful work in output from the machine

For a real machine, the useful work in output is always lower than the energy input, because part of the energy is "wasted" and converted into thermal energy due to the presence of internal frictions. However, for an ideal machine, all the input energy is converted into useful work, so

W_{out}=W_{in}

And therefore the efficiency is

\eta=1

which means 100%.

10.

The velocity ratio of a block and tackle system is the ratio between the distance moved by the effort and the distance moved by the load.

VR=\frac{d_{eff}}{d_{load}}

In a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio is also equal to the number of pulleys in the system.

For the system in the problem, there are 5 pulleys: therefore, this means that when the effort moves 5 metres, the load moves 1 metres, therefore the velocity ratio is

VR=\frac{5}{1}=5

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.

inna [77]
They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°

The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).

In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame
natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}

where;

L = length of the bed

\mu = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

\epsilon = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

\rho = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6       --------------   equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1    ---------------  equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

       B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B  = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
