Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. He bought three identical plants and gave plant 1 fertilizer every mo

rning; plant 2 fertilizer once a week, and he didn't use any fertilizer on plant 3. Bob watered each plant every morning and set all three plants on the windowsill so they would all have the same amount of sunlight. He measured the height of each plant once a week . He plotted plant height (y-axis)vs time (x-axis) for each plant. What is the independent variable * 1 point

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.

What is the strength of an electric field that will balance the weight of a 3.3 g plastic sphere that has been charged to -7.6 n
sp2606 [1]

As the plastic sphere is charged, therefore it experience an electric force when placed in an electric fields and also experiences gravitational force acts downward so the electric force must act upward.

Let  F_{E} is electric force and F_{G} is gravitational force.

If these forces are balanced, thereforeF_{E} = F_{G}

or                                                                      \left | q \right |E=mg\\\\\ E=\frac{mg}{\left | q \right |}

Given, q=-7.6 nC=-7.6\times10^{-9} C and  m=3.3 g= 3.3\times10^{-3} kg.

Substituting these values in above equation we get,

E=\frac{3.3\times10^{-3} kg\times9.8 m/s^{2} }{7.6\times10^{-9} C}\\\\E=4.2\times10^{6} N/C

Thus, the magnitude of electric field is 4.2\times10^{6} N/C.

As the charge is negative, the electric field at the location of the plastic sphere must be pointing downward.

How many swings would a 23 cm long pendulum make in 30 seconds?
iragen [17]

Is there any possible chance that at some point in your science
studies, sometime before you were given this question for your
homework, that maybe you might have encountered this formula
for the period of a simple pendulum ?

                   Period = (2 pi) √(length/gravity) .

If the length is 0.23 meter, and the
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s²,
then the period is

                                 = (2 pi) √(0.23/9.8)

                                 =   0.963... second  (rounded)

That's how long it takes for a simple pendulum, 23cm long,
hanging on a massless string and not swinging too far to
the side, to complete one full swing left and right.

Now, if you can figure out how many periods of  0.963 second
there are in  30 seconds, you'll have your answer.  I'll leave
that part of it to you.

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl
