A student examines the effect of the number of D batteries in a closed circuit on the brightness of a light bulb. In the experim

ent, four circuits were built with 1, 2, 3, and 4 batteries respectively. For each trial, the brightness of the light bulb was measured using a light meter. Which variable should the student keep constant?
the type of batteries


the number of batteries


the brightness of the light bulb


the data collected from the light meter

The correct answer is the Type of batteries

Explanation:

In an experiment, it is normal the researcher modifies one variable, in this case, the number of batteries (independent variable), and this variable affects the variable tested, in this case, the brightness of the bulb (dependent variable).

However, other factors or variables should be constant to guarantee the results are reliable. In this context, one factor that the student should keep constant is the type of batteries he uses because this is not one of the main variables and therefore it is not expected he changes this on purpose or this is affected by other variables. Moreover, by making any change the experiment can be negatively affected. For example, batteries might differ in their power capacity this can affect the brightness of the bulbs.

What is latent heat? Group of answer choices Energy released when water evaporates. Energy hidden in water vapor in the air. Ene
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates

Explanation:

The heat that is required to make a phase change is known as latent heat.

A phase change occurs when matter changes state. For example from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, among others.

When changing from liquid to gas (for example when water evaporates), the heat necessary for this to happen is called latent heat of vaporization. The word latent means hidden, because a change in temperature is not perceived during the phase change, even when heat is being added, thus it is said that the heat is hidden or latent.

So the answer is:

  • Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates.

*Another type of latent heat is the latent heat of fusion, which is when a solid becomes liquid.

20 kg who is running at a speed of 4.0 m/s jumps onto a stationary sled of mass 5.0 kg on a frozen lake. the speed at which the
Step2247 [10]

Here we can use momentum conservation as there is no external force on sled and child while he jump on sled

by momentum conservation equation

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v{2f}

20*4 + 5*0 = 20*v + 5 *v

since sled and child both moves with same speed so here they both will have same final speed "v"

by solving above equation we will have

25 v = 80

v = 3.2 m/s

So they will move together with speed 3.2 m/s
