Answer:

There are several reasons that experiments with faulty designs or with inconsistent data are problematic for scientists. A person can make one of those problems if he or she were to poorly measure what they are studying. For example, someone measured the mass of a book correctly to be 2 pounds, and someone else measured it mistakenly to be 1 pound. Another way that a person can make problems with faulty designs and inconsistent data is the lack of accuracy and precision. This could happen when someone can have the value of 10 from a correct data set of 9, 10, 10, 11, and 12, and someone else can have the value of 10 from an incorrect data set of 5, 7, 19, 15, and 10. The first data set has a lot more precision that the second data set. Another example would be: Someone could have the value of 10 from a correct data set of 9, and 11. Someone else can have the value of 10, but have the incorrect data of 7, and 15. The first set has more accuracy than the second set. A third reason that faulty designed experiments and inconsistent data can happen is the flawed experiments. For flawed experiments to happen, they may be uncontrolled, untrustworthy conclusions, or being inconsistent with other tests performed. For the last reason that they can happen, there can be bias. this could happen when the samples are too small, not randomly selected samples, and some outliers are present.

Which of the following has the lowest U value?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

c. expanded polyurethane

Explanation:

Thermal performance of a building fabric is measured in terms of heat loss and is expressed as U-value or R-value. U-value is the rate of heat transferred through a structure divided by the difference in temperature across the structure with a unit of measurement of W/m²K.You can calculate the U-value of a by getting the reciprocal of the sum of thermal resistances , R, making the building material.

If you have the value of R, then U=1/R

Material                         size            R                      U

plywood                          1"              1.25                0.8

Poured concrete            2"              0.99               1.010

Expanded polyurethane  1"            6.5                   0.1538

Asbestos shingles            1"             0.03                33.33

The material with lowest U-value is expanded polyurethane

During a workout, the football players at State U ran up the stadium stairs in 61 s. The stairs are 130 m long and inclined at a
NeTakaya

Answer:

  P = 1097 Watt

Explanation:

given,

length of stairs, L = 130 m

inclination with horizontal,θ = 30°

mass of the football player = 105 Kg

time = 61 s

we know,

Power = \dfrac{work}{time}

Work = change in Potential energy

 h = L sin 30°

 h = 130 x 0.5

 h = 65 m

W = m g h

W = 105 x 9.8 x 65

W = 66885 J

now,

P = \dfrac{66885}{61}

  P = 1097 Watt

hence, the power output on the way is 1097 W
