A research assistant in a lab conditions dogs to salivate to the sound of a bell. During conditioning, the assistant deliberatel

y manipulates the interval between the sound of the bell and the presentation of food. After conditioning, he measures how much the dog salivates when the bell is presented alone. The interval is the ________ variable. The amount of salivation is the ________ variable.A) dependent; experimentalB) dependent; independentC) independent; controlD) independent; dependent

Answer:

D. independent; dependent

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured during the course of an experiment. It represents the variable that changes with the manipulation of other variables.

The independent variables are variables which are varied or manipulated during the course of an experiment. The effects of their variations are measured on the dependent variable.

<em>In this case, the interval between the bell and presentation of food was varied and the effects of the variation was measured by determining the amount of salivation.</em>

Hence, the interval is the independent variable and the amount of salivation is the dependent variable.

The correct option is D.

</span><span>A sound-producing object is moving toward an observer. The sound the observer hears will have a frequency higher than that actually being produced by the object.

Why?
</span>As the source of the waves is moving toward the observer, each of the successive wave crest<span> is emitted from a position closer to the observer than the previous wave.
Thus each wave takes slightly less time to reach the observer than the previous wave. So, the time between the arrival of successive wave crests at the observer is reduced, increasing the frequency. </span>

A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. one of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to
Helga [31]
When the life preserver is dropped from the helicopter, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force. This modifies the equations of motion. Thus, the working equation is written below:

h = vt + 0.5gt²
where
v is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²
h is the height of the fall

h = (1.46 m/s)(1.8 s) + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(1.8 s) 
h = 11.457 m

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
