Choose all the answers that apply. Confirmation bias ___.

1 answer:

8 0

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 moving car skids to a stop with the wheels locked across a level roadway. Of the forces listed, identify which act on the car.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance.

Explanation:

When a moving car skid to stop and its wheels are locked across, then the following forces will be applied on the car:

Normal force: It will act counter to gravity that pushes an object against a surface and acts perpendicular to the contact surface.

Gravity: Gravity force acts in each and every object having mass and it can not be avoidable. So, the gravity force will also apply to the car and attract it to the earth's surface.

Friction: Friction is a force that acts opposite to the motion and stops or slows motion. Friction will be applied to the car that will oppose the motion of the car and stop it.

Air resistance: air resistance is defined as the forces exerted by air that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object. Air resistance will also be applied to the car when it will skid to stop as we are always surrounded by the air.

Hence, the correct answers are "Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance."

If a bow holds 500J of potential energy as the arrow is pulled back, how much kinetic energy will the arrow have after it has be

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

500J

Explanation:

The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
