In a controlled experiment why is it important to change just one variable parameter at a time

Physics

Think of it this way: If you test only one variable then you know that the difference in the experimental and control setup is that one independent variable. If you test more than one you will not know which one made the difference. Hope this helps :)

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and
Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east

what device is made of coils of wire with an electrical current passing through it in order to generate a magnetic field
Umnica [9.8K]

Transformer

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage

Two 5.0 kilogram objects have different gravitational potential energies. What property of the objects must differ?
ipn [44]

Answer:

Height.

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Hence, the property of the object (having a mass of 5 kilograms) which must differ to have different gravitational potential energies is the height from which they are falling from.

The object having the higher height would have a greater gravitational potential energy than the lower object.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
oee [108]
The best transition between the four options presented to represent a time when water molecules are moving closer together would be A. Frost forms on a window pane.

The closest distance that the water molecules can do is when the water is in the state of being solid. It is known that the solid state of matter has the closest distance from molecule to molecule that when a molecule tries to move, the others move as well creating a vibration and thus producing heat in the process. When they are in a liquid state, they are quite far from each other. In a gas state, they really are far from each. This explains the difference in their characteristics.

If a cart of 2 kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Force = mass * acceleration

F = ma

8 N =  2 kg * a

8 = 2a

2a = 8

a = 8/2 = 4

acceleration = 4 m/s²
