Confirmation bias "is caused by other people's ideas and opinions about a subject". (Answer D).

It is a common problem and occurs when a person seeks out evidence to support their preconceived opinions or views on a particular topic. This causes the 'bias' in the term 'confirmation bias' as the person is seeking to reinforce their preexisting view, rather than accept a more probable outcome. A classic example would be climate change skeptics seeking out source material that is anti-climate change in spite of overwhelming international consensus over the core aspects of climate change from the global scientific community. A person who seeks out and depends for their opinion on a very small component of the available evidence and chooses to ignore the mainstream literature is someone who has succumbed to confirmation bias.

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is $r = 59.7^o$

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is $= 30.3^o$

e The height of the target above sea level is

$h= 125.05m$

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

$= 49.63^o$

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

$i$ is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

$1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)$

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

$= 59.7^o$

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e $90 -59.7 = 30.3$ °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

$h = 214 * tan (30.3)$

$=125.05m$

A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

Solving the equation [for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}$

a = 7.6\ mph/s

"4.What determines how many figures are significant in reported measurement values? What

MAXImum [283]

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.
