Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.
Answer:
When they slide down, they lose this potential energy, which turns into kinetic energy and thermal energy. Thermal Energy - This energy is related to the temperature of a body or a system. When friction is involved in a system, part of the kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.
The first trophic level
they would want to eat the primary producers, which are located at the first trophic level. due to the 10% rule only 10% of the energy from the previous trophic level is passed on.
