As part of his work for NASA, Dr. Murdock was asked to find out what percentage of people in the continental united States saw H

aley's Comet when it was last visible. He randomly selected three major cities, Seattle, Cleveland, and Boston, and polled 1000 randomly selected people from these cities. He finds that fewer than 5% of the people he interviewed saw the comet, so he concludes that fewer than 5% of people in the continental United States saw the comet.
Required:
Discuss whether Murdock is using a generalization or an analogy, name the sample and the target, and discuss whether there are any fallacies present in the argument (if so, why; if not, why not?).

Answer:

Please, in the Explanation section you will find the explanation of the answer.

Explanation:

The exercise shows the continental United States and 3 cities used in the study carried out by Murdock. It can be said that the sample taken is part of the objective. There are several inconsistencies in Murdock's argument: the first has to do with the fact that the sample that was taken cannot represent the entire American population. A much larger, scientifically calculated sample would be required. The second is that their study did not take into account small cities or people living in the interior of the United States.

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 76.8 m/s2
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Take note that when the fuel of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be moving up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. Hence, there will be a need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction.

Given:

a = 76.8 m/s^2

t = 1.99 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)

d = (0) (1.99) + 0.5 (76.8) (1.99)^2

d = 0+38.4×3.9601

d = 152.068m

vf = vi + at

vf = 0 + 76.8 (1.99)

vf = 152.83 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely)

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.

vf = vi + at

0 = 152.83+(-9.8) (t)

0 = 152.83 + (-9.8) (t)

-152.83 = -9.8t

t = 152.83/9.8 s

t = 15.59s

Then, the second distance

d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)

d = 152.83 (15.59) + 0.5 (-9.8) (15.59^2)

d = 2382.6197- 1190.93

d = 1191.68m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:

d1 + d2 = 152.068 m + 1191.68m = 1343.748m

Pulling up on a rope, you lift a 4.25 kg bucket of water from a well with an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2 . What is the tension in
sattari [20]

Answer:

49.3 N

Explanation:

Given that Pulling up on a rope, you lift a 4.25 kg bucket of water from a well with an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2 . What is the tension in the rope?

The weight of the bucket of water = mg.

Weight = 4.25 × 9.8

Weight = 41.65 N

The tension and the weight will be opposite in direction.

Total force = ma

T - mg = ma

Make tension T the subject of formula

T = ma + mg

T = m ( a + g )

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

T = 4.25 ( 1.8 + 9.8 )

T = 4.25 ( 11.6 )

T = 49.3 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 49.3 N approximately.

In a simple model of the hydrogen atom, the electron moves in a circular orbit, of radius 0.053nm, around a stationary proton. H
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

f  =  6.57 × 10 ¹⁵H z

Explanation:

Given:

r = 0.053 n m  =  5.3 × 10 ⁻¹¹m   is the electron orbit radius

In order to determine the frequency of the electron motion, we first equate the Coulomb force due to the electrostatic attraction between proton and electron to the centripetal force of the circular motion. We have:

mv²/r² = kq²/r²

Here we want to get v so we isolate it:

v = √ k q ²/m r

We then recall that the speed in uniform circular motion is:

v = 2 π r f

So we replace everything and substitute:

2 π r f  = √ k q ²/ m r

We isolate the frequency here:

f = ( 1 /2 π r ) ×  ( √ k q ²/m r )

We insert the term inside the square root to get a singular term of the form:

f = √ k q ²/4 π ²m r ³

We substitute and use the charge and mass of an electron here:

f = ⎷ ( 9 × 10 ⁹ N m ²/ C ²) ( 1.602 × 10 ⁻¹⁹C )²/4 π ² ( 9.109 × 10 ⁻³¹k g ) ( 5.3 × 10 ⁻¹¹m ) ³

We will get:

f =  6.57 × 10 ¹⁵H z

Two boxes m1 and m2 are connected by a lightweight cord and sitting on a frictionless surface. A horizontal force of 66 N pulls
Flura [38]

Answer:

m₂ = 18 kg

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law on masses m₁ and m₂

∑F = m × a Formula (1)

∑F: algebraic sum of forces in Newton (N)

m: mass in kg

a: acceleration in m/s²

T: cord tension in Newton (N)

Known data

m₁ = 12 kg

F = 66 N

a₁ = a₂ = 2.2 m/s²

Problem development

We can see in the attached figure the free body diagram of the masses and we replace the data in formula (1), considering that positive forces are the ones that go in the same direction of acceleration::

Mass 1 (m₁) free body diagram:

∑Fₓ = m₁ × a₁

66 - T = 12 × 2.2

66 - T = 26.4

66 - 26.4 = T

T = 39.6 N

Mass 2 (m₂) free body diagram:

∑Fₓ = m₂ × a₂

T = m₂ × 2.2

39.6 = m₂ × 2.2

m₂ = 39.6 ÷ 2.2

m₂ = 18 kg
