Question:  

The physiological blind spot refers to a very small zone of functional blindness in the eye where the optic nerve passes through the retina. We do not notice it because our nervous system compensates for it. Can eye training reduce the size of a person's physiological blind spot? Researchers recruited a representative sample of 10 adults with normal vision. Each participant performed training exereises with one eye for three weeks. The size of the physiological blind spot was measured (in degrees of visual angle squared) with a motion detection task both prior to training and again after the training was completed. Which of the options is the response variable?

A) The size of the physiological blind spot

B) The number of adults.

C) The type of training exercises performed by each participant.

D) The size of the physiological blind spot.

E) The number of times an adult performed training exercises.

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

The response variable (when experimenting) is the variable or factor about which the researcher is concerned. It can also be (as the name entails) the variable which respond to changes in the experiment.  

The changes in the experiment is the training. The variable which the researcher is concerned about and which may or may not change with the introduction of training is the size of the physiological blind spot.

Cheers!

A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of 36​m/sec reaches a height of s = 36t - 0.8 t^2 met
Verdich [7]

Answer:

a. The rock's velocity is v(t)=36-1.6t \:{(m/s)}  and the acceleration is a(t)=-1.6  \:{(m/s^2)}

b. It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock goes up to 405 m.

d. It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement. v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}
  • Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}

a.

The rock's velocity is the derivative of the height function s(t) = 36t - 0.8 t^2

v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36t - 0.8 t^2) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(36t\right)-\frac{d}{dt}\left(0.8t^2\right)\\\\v(t)=36-1.6t

The rock's acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function v(t)=36-1.6t

a(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(36-1.6t)\\\\a(t)=-1.6

b. The rock will reach its highest point when the velocity becomes zero.

v(t)=36-1.6t=0\\36\cdot \:10-1.6t\cdot \:10=0\cdot \:10\\360-16t=0\\360-16t-360=0-360\\-16t=-360\\t=\frac{45}{2}=22.5

It takes 22.5 seconds to reach the highest point.

c. The rock reach its highest point when t = 22.5 s

Thus

s(22.5) = 36(22.5) - 0.8 (22.5)^2\\s(22.5) =405

So the rock goes up to 405 m.

d. The maximum height is 405 m. So the half of its maximum height = \frac{405}{2} =202.5 \:m

To find the time it reach half its maximum height, we need to solve

36t - 0.8 t^2=202.5\\36t\cdot \:10-0.8t^2\cdot \:10=202.5\cdot \:10\\360t-8t^2=2025\\360t-8t^2-2025=2025-2025\\-8t^2+360t-2025=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 the solutions are

x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=-8,\:b=360,\:c=-2025:\\\\t=\frac{-360+\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2-\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 6.59\\\\t=\frac{-360-\sqrt{360^2-4\left(-8\right)\left(-2025\right)}}{2\left(-8\right)}=\frac{45\left(2+\sqrt{2}\right)}{4}\approx 38.41

It reach half its maximum height when time is 6.59 s or 38.41 s.

e. It is aloft until s(t) = 0 again

36t - 0.8 t^2=0\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}36t-0.8t^2\rightarrow -t\left(0.8t-36\right)\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\\\t=0,\:t=45

The rock is aloft for 45 seconds.
