Answer:

given in explanation.

Explanation:

Independent variable is one which is controlled or changed by the scientist.

In this question the variable statement is

Watering the plant with different concentration of salt. Concentration of salt is controlled by the Marty so it is independent.

Dependent variable is one which is being tested or measured in an scientific experiment.

Marty measuring the sunflower height after the experiment is dependent variable.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable. An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?

babunello [35]

Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

What is the electric field 4.0 m from the center of the terminal of a Van de Graaff with a 7.10 mC charge, noting that the field

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3984875 N/C

Explanation:

Applying,

E = kq/r².................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulomb's constant.

From the question,

Given: q = 7.10 mC = 0.0071 C, r = 4.0 m

Constant: k = 8.98×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 0.0071(8.98×10⁹)/4²

E = 3984875 N/C

Hence the electric field is 3984875 N/C

An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12o east of north. the wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34o south of east. what is the plane's act

seropon [69]

Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector $\hat{i}$ .
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector $\hat{j}$ .

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
$\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}$

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
$\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})$

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
$\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}$

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.
