Abarbell is 1.5 m long. three weights, each of mass 20 kg, are hung on the left and two weights of the same mass, on the right. the width of each weight is 4 cm and each group of weights is placed 4 cm from the ends. where is the center of mass of the barbell as measured from the mid-point, m, of the bar? the bar is of uniform mass and has mass 5 kg, and the retaining collars are of negligible mass. take to the right as positivea. -5.90cmb. -11.6cmc. +13.7cmd. +5.90cme. none of the above

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.
