Randy wants to know whether a soil's porosity affects how easily seedlings grow in it.

Since the main objective of this experiment is to determine the effect of porosity on seedling growth that should be the only independent variable. In short, that is the only variable that should be different to ensure fair testing.

The answer should be B:

he plants seedlings in soils with different levels of porosity and equal levels of permeability.

Permeability is not what needs to be tested. If it changes, you may not be able to determine whether it was the porosity or permeability that cause changes.

Answer: B: different, equal

Explanation:

Since Randy wants to know how porosity affects seedling growth, he needs to design an experiment in which he uses soils of different porosity but keeps everything else the same. This means that his experiment should involve soils with equal levels of permeability, since this factor can also affect seedling growth. Randy is likely to find that most seedlings succeed in porous soils, because the open spaces between particles give them room to grow.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125??C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do

BigorU [14]

I believe the answer is D. phase changes. The two level portions represents change of state that does not involve change in temperature (at a constant temperature). The first level represents a change of solid to liquid;p where the ice melts and becomes water by gaining the latent heat of fusion, while the other level represents a change of state from liquid to gas; the water changes to steam (water vapor) by gaining the latent heat of vaporization.

Technician a says that using a pressure transducer and lab scope is a similar process to using a vacuum gauge. technician b says

Phantasy [73]

Answer: Both Technician A and B

Explanation:

There is a similar process in using a pressure transducer and lab scope to using a vacuum gauge.

And also, the pressure transducer can be used to tie any issues to individual cylinders if paired with a second trace consisting of the ignition pattern. Therefore, both Technician A and B are correct.

A person drops a stone down a well and hears the echo 8.9 s later. if it takes 0.9 s for the echo to travel up the well, approxi

Temka [501]

Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2$

$h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2$

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m

Your low-flow showerhead is delivering water at 1.2×10−4m3/s, about 2.0 gallons per minute.

Oksanka [162]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the fluid mechanics equations related to continuity, for which the proportion of the input flow is equal to the output flow, in other words:

$Q_1 = Q_2$
