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.

A block of mass 8 m can move without friction

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Let M1 = 8 kg and M2 = 34 kg

F = M a = (M1 + M2) a

F = M2 g the net force accelerating the system

M2 g = (M1 + M2) a

a = M2 / (M1 + M2) g = 34 / (42) g = .81 g = 7.9 m/s^2

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e $\dfrac{m}{2}$ .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

$mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v$

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

"a horn emits a frequency of 1000 HZ. A 14 m/s wind is blowing toward a listener. What is the frequency of the sound heard by th

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$f_L = 1000 Hz$

Explanation:

given,

speed of wind, = 14 m/s

frequency of horn,f_s = 1000 Hz

speed of sound,V = 344 m/s

frequency heard by the listener

using Doppler effect

$f_L = \dfrac{v+v_L}{v+v_s}f_s$

f_L is the frequency of the sound heard by the listener

f_s is the frequency of sound emitted by the listener

V is the speed of sound

v_L is the speed of listener

v_s is the speed of source

now,

considering the frame of reference in which wind is at rest now, both listener and the source will be moving at 14 m/s

$f_L = \dfrac{v+14}{v+14}\times 1000$

now on solving we will get

$f_L = 1000 Hz$

hence, the frequency heard by the listener is equal to 1000 Hz

a battery of 9v is connected in series with resistors of 0.2ohm , 0.3ohm, 0.5ohm, and 5 ohm respectively. how much current would

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1.5 A

Explanation:

Applying

V = IR'....................... Equation 1

make I the subject of the equation

I = V/R'.................. Equation 2

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R' = Total resistance.

From the question,

In a series connection,

R' = 0.2+0.3+0.5+5 = 6 ohm.

Given: V = 9V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 9/6

I = 1.5 A.

Note: Since all the resistors are connected in series, thesame current flows through them

Therefore the current flowing through the 5 ohm resistor = 1.5 A
