Answer:

bias refers to effects that a conclusion that may be incorrect, as for example when a researcher patient knows what treatment is being given, to avoid bias a blinded study may be done

1. thomas jefferson proposed using the length (l) of a simple pendulum whose period (t) was exactly 2 seconds as the definition

Alecsey [184]

The length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Given that, initial length of the simple pendulum L₁ = 1 m

Initial time period T₁ = 2 sec

We need to find the length of the pendulum whose time period is 2 sec

T₂ = 2 sec

L₂ = ?

We know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula,

T = 2π√(L/g)

From the above relation, we can write T ∝ √L

T₁ / T₂ = √(L₁/L₂)

Making L₂ from the above relation, we have,

L₂ = (T₂² * L₁)/ T₁² = 2² * 1/ 2² = 1 m

Thus, the length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

$L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2$ Replacing this value in the previous equation:

$\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34$ Solving for H:

$H=\sqrt{52}$

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

$\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°$

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

$-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0$ where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

$T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N$
