An experiment was devised to investigate the effects on the temperature of a cup of coffee when cream is added at different time

intervals. Hot and cold water were used instead of coffee and cream. First, a container of water heated to 80°C was allowed to sit for 15 minutes. Its temperature was measured at regular intervals. Next, similar temperature measurements were taken for 15 minutes on a new container of heated water, but this time some cold water was added after the 2-minute reading. Finally, the procedure was repeated except that for this last test, the cold water was added after the 12-minute reading. The resulting recorded temperatures were plotted on the graph shown here.  
1. What question was asked in the experiment?


 2. What was the hypothesis, expressed as an if-then statement? 



 3. What were the independent and dependent variables?


 4. What was the control in the experiment? 



 5. There is one thing that is wrong about this graph. What is it?

Hypotheses followed by a conclusion is called an If-then statement or a conditional statement.

This is noted as

p→q

This is read - if p then q.

A conditional statement is false if hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false.

A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it "depends" on the independent variable.

A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable. This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

Hi Babylilith32,

Your Question:

An experiment was devised to investigate the effects on the temperature of a cup of coffee when cream is added at different time intervals. Hot and cold water were used instead of coffee and cream. First, a container of water heated to 80°C was allowed to sit for 15 minutes. Its temperature was measured at regular intervals. Next, similar temperature measurements were taken for 15 minutes on a new container of heated water, but this time some cold water was added after the 2-minute reading. Finally, the procedure was repeated except that for this last test, the cold water was added after the 12-minute reading. The resulting recorded temperatures were plotted on the graph shown here.  

Answers:

1. If you have cool water then you have to add it to the hot water after a few minutes.

2. The independant variable is the cold water

3. The dependant variable is the temperature

4. The control is the hot water without the cold water.

5. The 2 min cold water drops way to much.

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium
Softa [21]
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

Pressure
= Force/Area

Area = π(d^2)/4
= π(0.4^2)/4
=0.126 m2
Pressure
= 50/0.126
= 396.825 Pa

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature.  Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat.  Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.  Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.
