Answer: The variable that you manipulate is called the independent variable. The variable that you measure is called the dependent variable.
B. lakes is a part of the biosphere
Biosphere is defined as "<span>the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms." and a lake is the only thing on the list that could be occupied by a living thing.</span>
Answer:
5.0 m/s
Explanation:
The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is
where u is the initial speed and 
. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is
where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.
Re-arranging for t,
(1)
Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is
where:
y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon
h = 0 is the initial height
is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation
and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:
Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) = 81.6 newtons .
The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
