Answer:

RELIBILITY - is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an

instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the same condition with the

same subjects. In short, it is the repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered

reliable if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar. It is important to

remember that reliability is not measured, it is estimated. A good instrument will produce

consistent scores. An instrument’s reliability is estimated using a correlation coefficient of

one type or another.

VALIDITY

VALIDITY - Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. It is

vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.

Validity isn’t determined by a single statistic, but by a body of research that demonstrates

the relationship between the test and the behavior it is intended to measure. There are three

types of validity: It is the strength of our conclusions, inferences or propositions. More

formally, Cook and Campbell (1979) define it as the "best available approximation to the

truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion."

PRACTICIBILITY

PRACTICIBILITY - It should be feasible & usable. Quality of being usable in context to the

objective to be achieved.

USABILITY

USABILITY(practicality) ease in administration, scoring, interpretation and application, low

cost, proper mechanical make – up

MEASUREABILITY

MEASUREABILITY - It should measure the objective to be achieved.

As the drawing illustrates, a siren can be made by blowing a jet of air through 20 equally spaced holes in a rotating disk. The
Aneli [31]

Answer:

ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

Explanation:

Solution:

- We can tackle this question by simple direct proportion relation between angular speed for the disk to rotate a cycle that constitutes 20 holes. We will use direct relation with number of holes per cycle to compute the revolution per seconds i.e frequency of speed f.

                                  1rev(20 hole) -> 20(cycle)/rev  

                                        2006.2(cycle) -> f ?  

                              f = 2006.2/20 = 100.31rev at second  

- The relation between angular frequency and angular speed is given by:

                                 ω = 2πf

                                 ω = 2*3.14*100.31

                                 ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible co
Illusion [34]

Answer:

 q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

it is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

Explanation:

In this exercise we have two forces in balance: the electric force and the gravitational force

          F_e -F_g = 0

          F_e = F_g

Since the gravitational force is always attractive, the electric force must be repulsive, which implies that the electric charge in the two ships must be of the same sign.

Let's write Coulomb's law and gravitational attraction

         k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

In the exercise, indicate that the two ships are identical, therefore the masses of the ships are the same and we will place the same charge on each one.

          k q² = G m²

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{G}{k} }    m

we substitute

           q = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11}}{8.99 \ 10^{9}} }   m

            q = \sqrt{0.7419 \ 10^{-20}}   m

           q = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰ m

           q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

This amount of charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

It is also proportional to the mass of the ships with the proportionality factor found.

Suppose the ships have a mass of m = 1000 kg, let's find the cargo

            q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ 10³

            q = 8.61 10⁻⁸ C

             

this is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

An isloated point charge produce an electric field with magnitude E at a point 2 m away. At a point 1 m from the charge magnitud
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

the correct answer is C,      E’= 4E

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the electric field at a given point

         E = k \frac{q}{r^2}

indicates that the field is E for r = 2m

         E = \frac{ k q}{4}                  (1)

the field is requested for a distance r = 1 m

         E ’= k \frac{q}{r'^2}

         E ’= k q / 1

 

from equation 1

         4E = k q

       

we substitute

        E’= 4E

so the correct answer is C
