Answer:
TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant
Explanation:
Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.
Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.
By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:

Where,
W: is the load
T: is the tension
Substituting the values in the given equation we have:

Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
Answer: The mechanical advantage of this machine is: MA = 5
There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic.
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)
Displacement is the final position of the object minus the initial position of the object.
Xf - Xi. Displacement is not the distance of the object. If you go to the right 10m and to the left another 10m, your displacement is 0m. But your distance is 20m
