Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused.

She plans to shine light through a lens and measure the distance to a screen that is placed where the beam focuses.
What are the controls in Lidia’s investigation?

the material and thickness of the lens
the type of light and the material of the lens

Answer:

Option B

the type of light and the material of the lens

Explanation:

Since the experiment focuses on investigating how thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light, it means thickness of lens here are indepedent variable since Lydia has control over the thickness and can alter it. However, the point where beam of light focuses on is depedent variable since Lydia will just observe the point but can't change it. To ensure that other external factors don't affect the results, Lydia has to ensure that the type of material irrespective of thickness remain constant and also the source of light must be kept constant. Therefore, the controls will be the type of light and the material of the lens

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change
defon
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s the specific heat capacity
\Delta T the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C and the amount of heat supplied is Q=31500 J, so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C

Calculate the time needed for a 0.600 kg hammer to reach the surface of the Earth
USPshnik [31]

The time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the hammer</h3>

The time of motion is calculated as follows;

t = √(2h/g)

where;

  • h is height of fall
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2 x 10 / 1.6)

t = 3.54 s

Thus, the time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.
