Physics
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
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 force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Luden [163]

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.
