What may happen with the results of an experiment if you are bias?

Nothing. The result will be the same. The bias comes with how you interpret the results depending on why you want them to appear that way. For example, if you were working for a sun tan lotion manufacturing company and developed a new formula in the lab. You could say 'under experimentation with formula X we recorded a significant drop in harmful UVA and UVB ray exposure on the subject' however, you would be bias and neglect to say that the formula removed all the subjects hair and turned them blue.


What is proportional to the force?

It means if you multiply or divide the mass by any number, the force gets multiplied or divided by the same number. double the mass ---> double the force 79 times the mass ---> 79 times the force 62 percent of the mass ---> 62 percent of the force one-tenth of the mass ---> one-tenth of the force


Will a bullet land at the same rate as a ball If you drop or shoot it at the same time and the same height?

Yes. The rate at which something drops is not related to its weight. However, one should not neglect air resistance, which can play a big part. For example a person on a parachute falls much more slowly than someone without one, simply because of air resistance. Similarly.a feather woudl fall more slowly than a garin of sand of the same weight. But, if you had no air resistance then all things would fall at the same rate, even a bullet moving roughly parallel to the Earth's surface as a high speed.

When you drop a 5 rupee coin and a 2 rupee coin from 100 metres tall building at the same time which one will reach the earth quicker?

If you neglect air resistance, they'll hit the ground at the same time. This is a classic experiment proving that the force of gravity acts the same way on all objects. On the earth objects fall at an acceleration of 9.8 m/sec/sec, meaning their velocity increases 9.8 m/sec for every second they're falling. The same experiment has been done by people ranging from Galileo to American astronauts on the Moon. In reality, air resistance will have an effect on the speed and acceleration at which objects fall. All objects experience friction / resistance from air molecules, so anything that meets more resistance will fall more slowly. That's why a parachute lets a person fall more slowly than if they just dropped - its large surface area increases air friction. However, for similarly-sized items air resistance can be ignored because it will affect both the same way. A 5 rupee coin is larger than a 2 rupee coin so it may be slowed just a bit more. But if you did the same experiment in a vacuum the 2 coins would reach the ground at the same time.

Which is bigger aluminum or gallium?

Gallium's radius is slightly than Aluminum's because Gallium has more protons than Aluminum. It sounds crazy because Gallium has more shells but u have to take into consideration that Aluminum's excited electrons actually spread through the d orbital making the radius bigger. Gallium on the other hand, has more protons, so when his excited electrons spread out it results in a lesser radius because the attraction between the protons and electrons are much bigger. It is confusing because he has a 4th shell with electrons, but since there are only 3 outer electrons (4s2 and 4p1), u can neglect it because of the big attraction of the nucleus. I hope this helped.

What is contralateral neglect?

Contralateral neglect is a disturbance of the patient's ability to respond to stimuli on the side of the body opposite (contralateral) to the side of brain lesion, in the absence of simple sensory or motor deficits. Patients with contralateral neglect often behave as though the left side of their world does not exist and they often fail to appreciate that they have a problem. The disturbance is often associated with large lesions of the right posterior parietal lobe. In one example, Mrs. T acquired contralateral neglect following a massive stroke in the posterior portion of her right hemisphere.

Is it consider neglect if minor child is left with noncustodial parent for over a year with no contact from the custodial parent?

The definition and parameters of neglect and child abandonment (a form of neglect) vary from state to state and the circumstances surrounding an alleged incident of such are taken into consideration when determining whether or not an act of neglect took place. For instance, if the parent was hospitalized or incarcerated, it generally would not be considered willful abandonment. If the parent did it because they had no way to provide food, shelter, emotional and financial support for the child for that period of time, it may not be considered an act of neglect, depending on specifics. If they did it because they couldn't be bothered to care for their child and could provide no viable reason why it was done, it would be considered neglect/abandonment. Ultimately, it would be an issue decided in court.
