The dependent variable is the amount of time it takes for the water to boil. This variable is dependent because is depends on the amount of salt.
Answer:
The lightbulb will NOT light.
Explanation:
You put me in a difficult position. I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly. There's no other choice but to copy it.
This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.
<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit. Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.
Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m
Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s
We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,
v = d/t

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.
Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.
Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.
In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.
Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.
<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>
.....................................(1)
where:
= temperature difference
- c= specific heat of the body
<u>Proving mathematically:</u>
<em>According to the given conditions</em>
- we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e.

- equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e.

- specific heat of solution A,

- specific heat of solution B,

&
are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.
Now, putting the above values


Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.
The distance decreases as the time increases
