Answer:

Explanation:

I'm not sure about the different types (I think one was selective bias) but they can ruin research if the person decides to use there bias. Example: if I'm trying to prove such and such movie is good and I'm doing research on it. I might choose to do a poll. Because I want to prove that this movie is the best I will pick the people who I know liked the movie. That is being biased.

Three types of bias can be distinguished: information bias, selection bias, and confounding. These three types of bias and their potential solutions are discussed using various examples.

Bias can damage research, if the researcher chooses to allow his bias to distort the measurements and observations or their interpretation. When faculty are biased about individual students in their courses, they may grade some students more or less favorably than others, which is not fair to any of the students.

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

LenKa [72]

Answer:Weight is the result of gravity . The gravitational field strength of Earth is 10 N/kg (ten newtons per kilogram). This means an object with a mass of 1 kg would be attracted towards the centre of Earth by a force of 10 N. We feel forces like this as weight.

Suppose the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the moon from Earth?

jasenka [17]

Answer:

No, The Moon, on the other hand, rotates once around its every 28 days, and once around the Earth in that same 28 days. The result of this combination is that the same side of the Moon is always facing the Earth.

Amir pitches a baseball at an initial height of 6 feet with a velocity of 73 feet per second. this can be represented by the fun

Romashka [77]

The values of t are <u>4.643 second</u> for the function $H(t)=-16t^2+73t+6$

What is batter misses?

An out in baseball happens when the umpire declares a batter or baserunner out. A hitter or runner who is out is no longer able to score runs and must go back to the dugout until their subsequent turn at bat. The batting team's turn is over after three outs are recorded in a half-inning.

In order to signal an out, umpires typically make a fist with one hand and then flex that arm, either upward on pop flies or forward on regular plays at first base. To indicate a called strikeout, home plate umpires frequently use a "punch-out" action.When a batter is struck by a pitched ball without making a swing at it, it is referred to as a hit-by-pitch. He consequently gets first base.

We have been given that

s = 6 feet

v = 73 feet per second

Substituting these values in the formula $H(t)=-16t^2+vt+s$
