Alysha wants to test the effect of different materials on the melting rate of ice. She finds the initial mass of four pieces of

ice. She then covers three pieces with either tinfoil, plastic wrap, or paper. The fourth piece is left uncovered.
After 30 minutes, Alysha calculates the final mass of each piece of ice to determine which melted the fastest.
What are the independent and dependent variables in Alysha's experiment?

a) The dependent variable is the type of cover material, and the independent variable is the mass of the ice.
b) The dependent variable is the mass of the ice, and the independent variable is the time the ice takes to melt.
c) The dependent variable is the mass of the ice, and the independent variable is the type of cover material.
d)
The dependent variable is the time the ice takes to melt, and the independent variable is the type of cover material.

Answer:

In the experiment conducted by Alisha to test the effect of different materials on the melting rate of ice, the dependent variable is the mass of the ice, and the independent variable is the type of cover material.

Explanation:

During an investigation or experiment, the dependent variable is the one whose changes will be studied, while the independent variable is able to influence the changes of the dependent variable.

In the case where it is wanted to <u>measure how different cover materials affect the rate of ice melting</u>, the dependent variable is the mass of ice and the independent variable is the coverage material, capable of affecting the time it takes for the ice to melt.

mixer [17]
Nuts indeed are a good source of vitamin E. This is true. However, when talking about nuts we have to consider that not all nuts have the same nutritional information nor do all of them have plenty of vitamin E. While we can say this for most, it is necessary to be wary of making such statements.

The movement of water will continue until?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

...a force acts upon it.

Explanation:

"An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless a force acts upon it."

This same rule implies to running water. Water typically runs from a higher place to a lower place with the usage of gravity (except for certain rare cases). Until there is something blocking (for example, a dam, or a let down in the steepness of the drop), the water will continue to move forward.

Assume a hawk eats five 20 gram birds and one 150 gram rabbit. In terms of biomass, did the
inna [77]

Answer: the rabbit

Explanation:

In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:

  • the total mass of the organisms within a community
  • the average masses per unit area

Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.

The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
