Answer:
Independent variable: Force applied to the car
Dependent variable: The acceleration of the car
Explanation:
A scientific experiment involves three variables which are classified mainly as independent, dependent and constant variables.
The independent variable is the variable which can be changed or changes itself like weather, natural conditions and in a given question, the applied force on the car is considered.
The dependent variable is the variable which depends on the independent variable that is the force applied on the car. Therefore, the acceleration of the car can be considered as a dependent variable as it changes according to the applied force.
The flea jumps at high velocity, reaches zero velocity at the maximum height 21.1 cm before starting to fall. Solve for initial velocity given final velocity is zero.
since time is not given, use the equation:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
convert gravity or displacement to have same units. 9.8 m/s = 980 cm/s
0 = u^2 + 2(-980)(21.1)
41356 = u^2
sqrt(41356) = u
203.4 cm/s = u
600. I forgot the measurement. but 600 is correct
