You have a small tank of water. suppose you make waves in the tank, and measure their speed in different depths of water. which is the independent variable, and which is the dependent variable?

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?

Asmall electric heater, immersed in 80g of water in a calorimeter of 40j/k raises the temperature from 10.5 degree celsius to 25 degree celsius in 12 minutes. using the same apparatus with 50g of oil instead of water, it is found that the temperature of oil rises from 7 degree celsius to 27 degree celsius in 10 minutes. find specific heat capacity of the oil.
