Experiment: Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.
slega [8]

Answer:

How does the drink content affect an individual's blood pressure?

Explanation:

In every experiment using the scientific method, an observation lays the foundation of that experiment. A problem must be observed, which then leads to asking a SCIENTIFIC QUESTION in order to investigate. A scientific question must include the variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and the variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

In this experimental procedure or set up,

- Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.

- Group 2 drink 500 mL of tea a day,

- Group 3 is a control group i.e no drink

At the end of 60 days all participants

blood pressure is tested.

This set up indicates that the variable being changed (independent) is the DRINK CONTENT while the variable being measured (dependent) is the BLOOD PRESSURE. Hence, these variables serve as the template to ask a scientific question which goes thus:

HOW DOES THE DRINK CONTENT AFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL'S BLOOD PRESSURE?

This scientific question relates how the independent variable (drink) causes the dependent variable to respond (blood pressure).

How much force do you push down on the Earth with? (Hint: 1kg is about 2 pounds).​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

Which of the following could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper? A) ultraviolet radiation B) microwa
Ivahew [28]

Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.

So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.

When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.

A man on the Moon observes two spaceships coming toward him from opposite directions at speeds of 0.600c and 0.600c. What is the
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left

How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?
Artyom0805 [142]

Characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

<h3>How are characteristics used to identify and classify plants?</h3>

The divisions classify plants that are based on whether they reproduce by spores or seeds. Spore-bearing plants include ferns, club mosses, and horsetail while on the other hand, Seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Different plants have different characteristics and features so on the basis of these characteristics we can easily classify seeds whether they belong from angiosperm and gymnosperm.

So we can conclude that characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.
