What is the independent variable in an experiment?

Independent variable is what you, the experimenter, change or enacts in order to do your experiment

What does a desert looks like?

A desert is a region which receives very little rainfall. So generally there is only sparse vegetation. However more important is other factors like the temperature. The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert mainly just looks like lots and lots of sand. Antarctica on the other hand is a cold desert and is mainly covered in snow.So it's quite variable.

As a side note the word desert can be used to describe an area of low or zero population, as in 'desert island'. Thus it could look like anything.

Why can't you put ice in a sock?

There is no specific reason, generally, that prohibits putting ice in a sock. It would help, though, if the socks are clean and not smelly!

Here are some logical reasons that you would not put ice cubes in socks:

  1. feet are already in the socks
  2. the socks are to small, for example, an infant's socks would likely only hold 1 cube in each one
  3. the socks were made into sock puppets, so someone's hands are in them
  4. the socks were made into sock dolls, so they are full of stuffing
  5. the socks were cut to make rags so there is no fabric to surround the ice cubes
  6. the old socks were cut into strips to make a rag rug
  7. someone cut the toe area off the socks, to wear socks with flip flops, for example
  8. two socks went into the laundry but only one sock came back, and the remaining one was grieving the loss of its mate
  9. the socks have big holes and you do not know how to darn the holes (To darn means to fill the holes up with thread to repair the socks.)
  10. you live in the tropics and don't own socks!

What is the discussion in an Experiment?

An Experiment has no use without its documentation. Regarding this: The Lab Book; it contains - Protocol; Equipment; chemicals this and procedures that, compression of the results occurs in the Conclusion, while The Discussion is the Section of the Report that follows the Conclusion.

Why Vienna pee dee belemnite standard vpdb called So?

VPDB (Vienna PeeDee Belemnite) is a laboratory derived standard based off the PeeDee Belemnite Standard. This standard came from a formation in South Carolina that was high in 12C/13C ratios that most naturally occurring facies. In short, when PDB ran out, they made a synthetic version in a lab in Austria.

What is the difference between pure substance and mechanical mixture and solutions?

1. A pure substance can not be separated farther since it is composed of one type of atom.

2. I can't define mechanical mixture... Check your text book

3. A solution is one or more substances.

I can:

As she said a pure substance has only one type of particle.

A solution is MORE then one substance. But in a solution u can't see the different parts.

In a mechanical mixture, there is more then one particle like in a solution, but u can see the different particles.

Where can you find coquina?

You can find coquina at beaches, shallow submarine raised banks, swift tidal channels , and barrier bars!!

What are values of the independent variable?

The answer depends on whether or not you (or someone else) have any control over it. If someone has control then they can choose the values. If not, you get what the observations give you.

What were the six steps to war in 1935-1939?

The six steps to war that Hitler did were:

First one: Re-arm in October 1933.

Second one:Re-militarize Rhineland in March 1936.

Third one: Austria in March 1938.

Fourth one: Sudetenland in September 1938.

Fifth one: Czechoslovakia in March 1939.

Sixth one: Poland. Pact August 1939, invasion 1/Sept/1939, declare war 1/Sept/1939.

Then it started the Second War World.

What should be done after data is collected for an experiment?

The scientist or student scientist should review the results. Conclusions should be drawn based on the results. Then, the hypothesis is reviewed to make sure the results confirm the hypothesis; if not, revise the hypothesis and rerun the experiment.

Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?

Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio

What are science variables?

There are three different types of variables in science.

Independent Variable: The one you choose to change. Or it is the cause of the change in the dependent variable. (Ex: amount/type of Fertilizer)

Dependent Variable: The one you choose to observe. The one that receives the effect of the independent variable. (Ex: Plant ; the one you'll use with the fertilizer)

Controlled Variables (Usually more than one): The ones that remain the same throughout the experiment.

What is the function of a sextant?

Sextant is used to measure the angle between any two visible objects.Its primary use is to determine the angle between a celestial object and the the horizon which is also know as objects altitude.

Why data science?

Data science is important because it provides a new model for thinking about the world of information. Data science uses math and algorithms to examine patterns of information, which makes data science incredibly useful in our current information-based society.

Data scientists collect and process large data sets, then use this data to understand how humans or other organisms behave or interact with their environment.

This knowledge can be helpful in understanding human behavior, identifying issues that affect many people (for example, outbreaks of infectious diseases),

and finding solutions to these problems. Learn data science Beiggner to advance then visit >> Skillup online and join a Free IBM Data science course

What experiments did J.J. Thomson perform?

he discovered a way to mix certain particles in order to discover the articles needed to find the way to mix gasses without causing any harm.

What are some real life uses for scientific notation?

Scientific notation is a short hand way of expressing numbers that are very large or very small such as 10,000,000 = 1.0*107 or 0.0000001 = 1.0*10-7

What happens to a mixture of cornstarch and water if you microwave it for 90 seconds?

When cornstarch and water are mixed and microwaved, the starch absorbs the water and forms a thickened paste due to gelatinization. Microwaving for 90 seconds may result in the paste thickening further, potentially forming a solid-like consistency that can hold its shape. It is important to be cautious when handling hot mixtures to avoid burns.

What makes some liquids have a greater surface tension than others?

The surface tension is primarily due to the arrangement of electrons of the molecules that comprise the liquid.

What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0g of N2?

Relation of mols : N2 + 4H2 → 2NH4

This means : 1 mol of molecular nitrogen will give you 2 mols of ammonia.

Atomic weight : N; 14.0067, H; 1.00797

Molecular weight : N2 ; 28.0134 g/mol, NH4; 18.03858 g/mol

From mol relation, the weight relation is: 28.0134 g of N2 give 36.00772 g of NH4

So 35.0 g of N2 will give you: 36.00772 g x 35.0 g / 28.0134 g ~ 45.0 g of NH4
