Independent.

The independent variable is manipulated and the effects are noted.

Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.

Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height = independent variable (controlled)
velocity = dependent variable (measured in response to water height).

Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v = response variable (dependent)
h = controlled variable (independent).

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

maria [59]

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric f

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

$E_1_x = 0V/m\\E_1_y=100V/m$

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

$E_2_x= 150V/m*-sin(45) = 106.07 V/m\\E_2_y=150V/m*cos(45) = 106.07V/m$

∑x: $E_1_x+E_2_x = 0V/m - 106.07V/m = -106.07V/m$

∑y: $E_1_y + E_2_y = 100V/m + 106.07V/m = 206.07V/m$

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

$||E_r||= \sqrt{(-106.07V/m)^2+(206.07V/m)^2} = 231.76 V/m\\\\\alpha = arctan(\frac{206.7 V/m}{-106.07 V/m}) = 117.24degrees$

or 27.23° to the left of E1.

An electric immersion heater is put at the bottom of a large tank of water. The water next to the heater becomes warm

djyliett [7]

Answer:

when the water is heated with immersion heater, the water becomes less dense due to which the warm water rises up and the cooler water fills it's space.

On an unknown planet in the outer-reaches of the solar system, a pendulum with a 12 g bob and a string length of 4 m oscillates

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The acceleration due to gravity (g) on this planet is 39.44 m/s²

<h3>What is solar system?</h3>

Solar system consists of all the planets and the most importantly the center of the solar system is Sun.

Given is an unknown planet in the outer-reaches of the solar system, a pendulum with a 12 g bob and a string length of 4 m oscillates with a period of 2 seconds.

The time period of the pendulum is

T = 2π √l/g

Squaring both sides, we get

l/g = T² / 4π²

g = 4π²l/ T²

Substitute Time period T = 2s and length l = 4m, we get

g = 4π²x 4/ 2²

g =39.44 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 39.44 m/s²
