Answer:

c) the emotional or neutral word list

Explanation:

In research, we usually have two different types of variables:

  • The independent variable is the one that the researchers can control and that will have an effect on another variable.
  • The dependent variable is the one that cannot be control and that is affected by the independent variable. Researchers observe this variable to see how it changes. This is the variable that will be tested or measured.

In other words, the independent variable has an effect on another one and it can actually be controlled by researchers.

In this example, Dr. Kang wants to examine the effects of emotion on memory. In other words, how emotions affect memory. He proceeds to hand a list of words with very emotional content to a group of subjects and a list of neutral words to another group and then measures how many words each group is able to remember. We can see that he thinks emotional words will have an EFFECT on emotion. Also, he can control this variable by handing different lists (emotional or neutral words) to each group. Therefore, this is the independent variable. ( c. the emotional or neutral word list)

pychu [463]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Full faith and credit clause".

Explanation:

  • The Full Faith and Credit Clause describes the obligations that specify that perhaps the "legal laws, documents, and legal proceedings of any other entity" must be upheld throughout the U.S.
  • In all the other U.S. states, the amendment necessitates that all choices, public documents, and precedents of one state be respected.

Therefore, it's the right answer.

What is geographically different about the parts of Utah that get more precipitation that other parts?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Precipitation varies greatly, from an average of less than five inches annually over the Great Salt Lake Desert (west of Great Salt Lake), to more than 40 inches in some parts of the Wasatch Mountains.  The average annual precipitation in the leading agricultural areas is between 10 to 15 inches, necessitating irrigation for the economic production of most crops.  However, the mountains, where winter snows form the chief reservoirs of moisture, are conveniently adjacent to practically all farming areas, and there is usually sufficient water for most land under irrigation.  The areas of the State below an elevation of 4,000 feet, all in the southern part, generally receive less than 10 inches of moisture annually.

 

Northwestern Utah, over and along the mountains, receives appreciably more precipitation in a year than is received at similar elevations over the rest of the State, primarily due to terrain and the direction of normal storm tracks.  The bulk of the moisture falling over that area can be attributed to the movement of Pacific storms through the region during the winter and spring months.  In summer northwestern Utah is comparatively dry.  The eastern portion receives appreciable rain from summer thunderstorms, which are usually associated with moisture-laden air masses from the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Snowfall is moderately heavy in the mountains, especially over the northern part.  This is conducive to a large amount of winter sports activity, including skiing and hunting. While the principal population centers along the base of the mountains receive more snow, as a rule, than many middle and northeastern sections of the United States, a deep snow cover seldom remains long on the ground.

 

Runoff from melting mountain snow usually reaches a peak in April, May or early June, and sometimes causes flooding along the lower streams.  However, damaging floods of this kind are infrequent.  Flash floods from summer thunderstorms are more frequent, but they affect only small, local areas.
