Answer:
TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant
Explanation:
Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.
Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.
Answer: B.
Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit
Explanation:
If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.
If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”
Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”
Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”
Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.
Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)
Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?
You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Except in the crust, the interior of the Earth cannot be studied by drilling holes to take samples. Instead, scientists map the interior by watching how seismic waves from earthquakes are bent, reflected, sped up, or delayed by the various layers.
