Answer:

stove

Explanation:

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Option B

the type of light and the material of the lens

Explanation:

Since the experiment focuses on investigating how thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light, it means thickness of lens here are indepedent variable since Lydia has control over the thickness and can alter it. However, the point where beam of light focuses on is depedent variable since Lydia will just observe the point but can't change it. To ensure that other external factors don't affect the results, Lydia has to ensure that the type of material irrespective of thickness remain constant and also the source of light must be kept constant. Therefore, the controls will be the type of light and the material of the lens

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby has a mass of 4kg. The carriage ha
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!
