It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated
by the sun. The reason why the moon
changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some
areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.
The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x)
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y = height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.
Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.
Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:
Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.
(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:
(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation
v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:
v=√(2*g*h)
v=99.04 m/s
So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.
B.) Carbon Dioxide because the carbon is surrounded by oxygen
