The two factors that affect the period of a pendulum are the length of the string and the distance in which the pendulum falls.
Hope this helps! I would greatly appreciate a brainliest! :)
Answers:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds
are given by:
(1)
Where:
is the angular frequency
is the radius of the orbit of each satellite
is the period of the orbit of each satellite
Isolating
:
(2)
Applying this equation to each satellite:

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

b) Acceleration
is defined as the variation of velocity in time:
(9)
Applying this equation to each satellite:

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

Mirrors reflect light waves.
Answer:
The dependent variable is academic performance
The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support
The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.
The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support
Explanation:
In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.
The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.
The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.
The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).
