The correct answer is B. You can control variables more easily.

Explanation:

In an experiment, scientists or researchers need to keep most of the variables or factors constant because only by doing this they can study the main factor or variable (dependent variable) in relation to the variable that is manipulated by the researcher (independent variable).

All of this is quite challenging in natural spaces because there are many variables and these cannot be controlled. For example, if the scientist wants to study how air humidify affects plant growth he/she needs to consider and control other factors such as light exposure, soil, weather changes, among others. On the opposite, in a laboratory or artificial environment, these variables can be more easily controlled as these are created by the scientist and not by nature. Thus, the reason experiments are often performed in laboratories is "You can control variables more easily".

In my opinion,I think the answer is b.You can control variables more easily by doing different things for different purposes.

Given a 10-V power supply, would a 20-ohm resistor and a 5-ohm resistor need to be arranged in parallel or in series to generate

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\ = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}$

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Describe how a battery works

Whitepunk [10]

Magic, Nah im just kidding. A battery has two parts, the anode and the cathode. Which anode is positive and cathode is negative, which they are connected to the electrolyte. Once they are connected to a device they once start working from separate ends. Which is the flow of energy

Dr. Smith is conducting an experiment to determine if paintings of landscapes produce more peaceful feelings than abstract paint

skad [1K]

The option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that D. Abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

It should be noted that a hypothesis simply means the proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence.

From the information, Smith is conducting an experiment to determine if paintings of landscapes produce more peaceful feelings than abstract paintings.

Therefore, the option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.
