Answer:

So that the researchers know how much of the result is a trick of your mind and how much of the result is real.

Explanation:

So first, in order to answer this question we need to know what a placebo is.

Placebo: any treatment that has no active properties, like a sugar pill.

Now we ask ourselves, how could a placebo be something of interest in human studies?

Our brains are amazing things and can connivence themselves many things. Hints the phrase "placebo effect" that is very common in the medical field.

The placebo effect (a positive effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment) is a really good example as to why they are useful in human studies.

How else could you know was a true effect or just something someone believed would happen anyway?

Placebos are an important part of clinical studies as they provide researchers with a comparison point for new therapies, so they can prove they are safe and effective. They can provide them with the evidence required to apply to regulatory bodies for approval of a new drug.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson needs to escape from the fourth floor of a burning building (in a movie). He ties a rope around his wa

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s

Explanation:

Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N

Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N

Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N

Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:

787.58 = 63 x acceleration

acceleration = 12.501 m/s

Finally, we can use the motion equation:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s$

here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)

a = 12.501 m/s

and s = 10 m

Solving this we get:

$v^2 - 0 = 2 * 12.501 * 10$

$v = 15.812 m/s$

Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at 15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is 25 ohms. If the total current is 100mA, how much current is through a 220 ohm resi

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The current across the resistance is 0.011 A.

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 25 ohms

Total current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Let the voltage is V.

By the Ohm's law

V = I R

V = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5 V

Now the resistance is R' = 220 ohm

As they are in parallel so the voltage is same. Let the current is I'.

V = I' x R'

2.5 = I' x 220

I' = 0.011 A

What does the term Hubble time mean in cosmology, and what is the current best calculation for the Hubble time?

balu736 [363]

Hubble time in cosmology means the estimated age of the universe and the best calculation for it is T=1/H, where H is the Hubble constant

The wavelength of light is 5000 angstrom. Express it in nm and m.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1 angstrom = 0.1nm

5000 angstrom = 5000/1 × 0.1nm

$1 \: angstrom = 1 \times {10}^{ - 10} m$

5000 angstrom = 5000 × 1 × 10^-10

Hope this helps you

What will be net force be if net forces are unbalanced?

malfutka [58]

Answer: If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.
