Answer:
Norwegian Antarctic Expedition
Explanation:
Roald Amundsen's expedition won the race to the Pole on December 14, 1911. He became the first man that led a successful expedition to the South Pole.
The Norwegian Antarctic Expedition was led by him.
Robert Scott was his rival on this expedition with the same goal. But Amundsen arrived at the South Pole first in 1911.
Answer: The choice of a submarine to either sink or float depends on the captain of that submarine. For a submarine to sink the captain just have to allow water to fill the water tank (lock), making the submarine more dense than the water it has displaced. For it to float, it just have to empty the water tank and allow air to fill it.
When a boat in a canal lock sank, the water level will rise, because the volume of the boat has displaced more water, and this displaced water will cause the water level to rise. The space occupied by an object in a water, is equal to the volume of water been displaced.
Answer:
c. dependent variable
Explanation:
In research, the <u>independent variable</u> is the variable that can be manipulated by the researchers and which will have an effect on another variable that is called the dependent variable. (Therefore, the variable in which the affect is perceived is called the dependent variable). The researchers don't really have control over the dependent variable but it is the one that it's being tested and see how it responds to the independent variable.
In this example, the race of a criminal offender seems to determine the frequency with which capital punishment is administered. We can see that apparently, <u>the race of the criminal offender affects the punishment and how frequent it is received. </u>Therefore, since the race is affecting the frequency of the capital punishment, we can say that the punishment can be considered the dependent variable.
