Answer:
Since the momentum of the body remains constant ( conserved) the trolley slows down (its velocity reduces) since its mass increases.
Answer:
the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.
That is,
Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100
Explanation:
Let the intensity of light be represented by I
Let the distance of the star be d
I ∝ (1/d²)
I = k/d²
For the earth,
Iₑ = k/dₑ²
k = Iₑdₑ²
For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ
Iₒ = k/dₒ²
But dₒ = 10dₑ
Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²
Iₒ = k/100dₑ²
But k = Iₑdₑ²
Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100
Iₒ = Iₑ/100
Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.
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.
