Answer:

D. Test a cell phone's reception in the exact same location under various atmospheric conditions

Explanation:

Components of an experiment:

Independent variable:

A manipulated variable, in an experiment or study, whose presence or degree incurs a change in the  dependent variable.

Dependent variable:

A variable which is being studied in the experiment and is supposed to change with respect to the independent variable.

Control variable:

Control variable includes the variables which are of no concern in the experiment and must be constant so that they do not interfere with the results of the experiment. Change in control variable might affect the results of an experiment.

In Anna's experiment, the independent variable is the atmospheric conditions. The dependent variable is cell phone reception that will change according to the atmospheric conditions. All other things related to the experiment are control variables like cellphone, location of the cell phone. Both of these must stay constant to collect the best data.

Hence, the best option is D.

The seatbelt across your chest should have about ______ fist width of slack
OLEGan [10]
The correct answer is option (c) i.e. one

<span>The seat belt across your chest should have about one fist width of the slack. Because the seat belt across your chest is required to have minimum fist width of the slack to hold the body in place and to avoid slamming of the body against the seat belt in case of a collision at high speeds. To have one fist width of the slack, makes it a safest to wear it in case of any collision. </span>

A police car is driving north with a siren making a frequency of 1038 hz. Moops is driving north behind the police car at 12 m/s
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The police car is moving at 41.24 m/s.

Explanation:

To find the speed of the police car we need to use the Doppler equation:

f = f_{0}(\frac{v + v_{r}}{v + v_{s}})      

Where:

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

v_{r}: is the speed of the receiver = 12 m/s

v_{s}: is the speed of the source =?

f: is the observed frequency = 959 Hz

f₀: is the emitted frequency = 1038 Hz          

Both terms are positive in the fraction because the velocity of the sound is in the opposite direction to both velocities of the police car and the other car.  

By solving the above equation for v_{s} we have:        

v_{s} = \frac{f_{0}(v + v_{r})}{f} - v = \frac{1038(343 + 12)}{959} - 343 = 41.24 m/s  

Therefore, the police car is moving at 41.24 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

Food labels often indicate energy in joules and calories. A jar of jam contains 1030 kJ (245 kcal).
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It is not correct.

The correct conversion is:

1030 KJ = 246.18 KCal.

Explanation:

To know if 1030 KJ is equivalent to 245 KCal, we shall convert 1030 kJ to kcal. This can be obtained as follow:

4.184 KJ = 1 KCal

Therefore,

1030 KJ = 1030 KJ × 1 KCal / 4.184 KJ

1030 KJ = 246.18 KCal.

Thus, 1030 KJ is equivalent to 246.18 KCal.

From the above calculation, we can see that:

1030 KJ ≠ 245 KCal

Rather,

1030 KJ = 246.18 KCal.
