Sadly she has not concluded much. She needs a more diverse & larger population of teenagers to come to a less biased conclusion. results will be skewed.

The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.

An 850 kg elevator is accelerating upwards at 3.0 m/s2. Calculate the tension in the cable.
sveta [45]

Answer:

10880N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of elevator, m=850 kg

Acceleration, a=3m/s^2

g=9.8m/s^2

We have to find the tension in the cable.

We know that

When elevator is accelerating upward then tension in the cable

T=m(a+g)

Using the formula

T=850(3+9.8)

T=10880N

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 150 mi of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph .
Serggg [28]

Answer:

t = 25.5 min

Explanation:

To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.

t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h

Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:

\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h

This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:

0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s

hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph
