Answer

D. The factor that's changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable

Explanation
The term independent mean not interfered with. It stands on its on without been affected.
In an experiment the term independent factor is one which is not affected by another variable although it does change in the experiment but is is impacted by the dependent variable.

The independent variable is changed by the experimenter to get an effect from the dependent variable. Therefore, the best answer is D.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by $2.8^{o}C$ every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is $1.60\times 10^{5}kg$ will require

$0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ$

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

$\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s$

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28 103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

ρ = m / V

V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

M = 5.5 Me

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

R = 0.528 10⁷ m

R = 0.528 104 km

R = 5.28 103 km

A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 × t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.
