Minority group

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Minority group - People who are singled  out for unequal treatment  and who regard  themselves as objects of  collective discrimination.

Ethnicity - A shared identity based on  cultural elements such as  heritage, language, and  religion.

Majority group - A group's subset that  consists of more than half  of the entire group's  members.

Race - A socially constructed  group of people who share  physical characteristics  that are considered  significant by a society  and that are used to  distinguish them from  other groups.

Explanation:

To better understand the above-mentioned definitions we would use some examples:

Elder people can be considered as a minority group in the United States because of their reduced status as a consequence of popular discrimination and prejudice against them. In contrast to them, young men consisting of more than half the population in the age category is an example of the majority group.

Groups of people like Hispanic Americans, Jews, Italian America, Irish are some examples of people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds residing in the U.S.

African Americans who are distinguished based on their skin color is an example of race.

Measuring instrument in shop are checked by deparment of weight and measures in every two years,why?​
Alecsey [184]
The standard weights and meters scale for every two years because they may raise some errors due to regular use
The measuring device on regular and continous use may loose their standards and results in some error
The national standards body National Bureau of Standards & Metrology (NBSM) verifies the standard weights and meter scales for every two years
There are also some other factors which can contribute to bring error in the measurement of instruments

While running a 100m race, a runner runs from the 20m to 30m mark in 77 frames of a video record. If the video camera recorded d
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Speed of the runner during video interval is 6.49 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem,

Number of frames recorded by camera in 1 second = 50

Time takes by camera to record 1 frame = (1/50) s

Time taken by camera to record 77 frames, t = \frac{1}{50}\times 77 s

Distance covered by the runner during the video recording, d = 10 m

Speed, v = \frac{Distance}{time}=\frac{d}{t}

Substitute the values of d and t in the above equation.

v = \frac{10}{\frac{77}{50} }

v = 6.49 m/s

A scientist studies the strengths of different types of wood, including oak and
AfilCa [17]

C

Explanation:

This is because the other variables in the other choices are relative to different observers and hence are not good to use in an experiment because there will be a lot of inherent bias by the person conducting the experiment For example how one person views how strong or beautiful the maple or oak looks may be different from how another person perceives the same.

However, weight is an absolute SI unit and does not vary from experiment to experiment. It is, therefore, a non-biased variable to use in the experiment and determine which wood between oak and maple can hold more weight.

What is epsilon zero and why does it come into use, particularly in the case of Gauss's Law?
Paha777 [63]
<span>Epsilon zero is permittivity of free space means how much air or vacuum permits electric field to travel from one charge to other.It is constant in the coulomb law. This allow Gauss's a lot easier to solve rather than using K</span>

Suppose that it takes 0.6 seconds for a mass on a spring to move from its highest position to its lowest position. What is the p
o-na [289]
The mass on the spring is bouncing. 

We would call it a wave-like motion, except that it all stays in the same place.  But, just like a wave, moving from the highest position to the lowest position
is one-half of a full wiggle. 

(The other half consists of moving from the lowest position back up to the
highest position, where it started from. 

So, half of the wave-like motion takes 0.6 seconds. 

A full cycle of the wave motion ... the actual period of the bounce,
is double that much time . . .
                                                   1.2 seconds.
