I think the correct answer would be D. The tap water in the experiment is one the three test conditions of the independent variable, the type of water. The independent variable in a experiment is the one being manipulated or the one being changed. In this case, it is the type of water.
Answer:

Explanation:
We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

Similarly,

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.
The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

So,

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

Answer:
No
Explanation:
Some objects gain momentum.
Answer:
No, they will not change.
Explanation:
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
Since the ball and rod is an isolated system and there is no external force on it so by momentum conservation we will have

here we also use angular momentum conservation
so we have

also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have

so we have

also we know

also we know

so we have


now we have


Part b)
Now we know that speed of the ball after collision is given as

so it is given as
