Population specification errors occur when the researcher does not understand who they should survey. This can be tricky because there are multiple people who might consume the product, but only one who purchases it, or they may miss a segment looking to purchase in the future.

Measurement error is generated by the measurement process itself, and represents the difference between the information generated and the information wanted by the researcher. Generally, there is always some small level of measurement error due to uncontrollable factors.

A car of mass 1500 kg is negotiating a flat circular curve of radius 50 m with a speed of 20 m/s.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The source of centripetal force on the car is (3) the static friction force.

b. ac = v²/R = (20²)/50 = 8 m/s²

c. Fc = m(ac) = 1500(8) = 12 kN

d. μ = Fc/N = Fc/mg = 12000 / 1500(9.8) = 0.8163... ≈ 0.82

A 10 µf capacitor is charged to 108 v and is then connected across a 328 ω resistor. what is the initial charge on the capacitor

valina [46]

The capacitance is defined as the maximum charge stored in a capacitor, Q, divided by the voltage applied, V:
$C= \frac{Q}{V}$

The capacitor is initially charged with the battery of 108 V, so the the initial charge on the capacitor can be found by re-arranging the previous formula:
$Q=CV=(10 \mu F)(108 V)=1080 \mu C$

Your friend, who is in a field 100 meters away from you, kicks a ball towards you with an initial velocity of 16 m/s. Assuming t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Time, t = 5.355 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100 m

Initial velocity = 16 m/s

Deceleration = 1 m/s²

To find the time, we would use the second equation of motion;

But since the ball is decelerating, it's acceleration would be negative.

S = ut + ½at²

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

100 = 16t - 0.5t²

200 = 32t - t²

t² + 32t - 200 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula;

The quadratic equation formula is;

$x = \frac {-b \; \pm \sqrt {b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$x = \frac {-32 \; \pm \sqrt {32^{2} - 4*1*(-200)}}{2*1}$

$x = \frac {-32\pm \sqrt {1024 - (-800)}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1024 + 800}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1824}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm 42.71}{2}$

$x_{1} = \frac {-32 + 42.71}{2}$

$x_{1} = \frac {10.71}{2}$

x1 = 5.355

We do not need the negative value of x, so we proceed.

Therefore, time = 5.355 seconds

The steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks are listed below in an incorrect order.

Arlecino [84]

The first step in the formation of sedimentary rock is weathering of preexisting rocks. The second step is transport of the weathering products. The third step is deposition of the material. And at the end there is compaction and cementation of the sediment to form a rock.
According to this, the following shows the correct order of steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks:
C. <span>1, 4, 3, 2
</span>Rocks are weathered.Small pieces of rocks are carried by water.They are deposited in layers.<span>The sediments are compacted together.</span>
