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.

abruzzese [7]

For a single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen,the angle is mathematically given as

theta=25.3

Option A is correct

<h3> What angle does the 18th minimum occur?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the the angle is mathematically given as

$\theta=n(\lambda/d)$

Therefore

$\theta 1/ \theta 2=n1(\lambda/d)/ n2(\lambda/d)$

In conclusion

theta/7=16/5

theta=10*7/5

theta=25.3

You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds

german

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}$

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

$f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}$

$f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

$f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz$

<em>Hence option A is incorrect.</em>

We can do this process for 254Hz as $f_1$ and 258 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 4Hz$

<em>Hence option B is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255Hz as $f_1$ and 257 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|$

$f_{beat} = 2Hz$

<em>Hence option C is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

$f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz$

<em>Hence option D is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as $f_1$ and 256.25 Hz for $f_2$ , then

$f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz$

<em>Hence option E is incorrect. </em>

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz

A 20kg object acceleration by a force of 200N with coefficient of kineticfriction is 0.4 what is acceleration of the object?

Schach [20]

Answer:

<u>Given</u><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><u>M</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u>20 kg

k = 0.4

F = 200 N

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>-</u><u> </u> acceleration

<u>Solution </u><u>-</u><u> </u>

F= kMA

200 = 0.4 * 20 * acceleration

200 = 8 * a

a = 8/200

a = 0.04 m s²

<h3>a = 0.04 m s²</h3>
