Kate gathered three boxes of the same size made of different materials: glass, clear plastic, and aluminum painted black. She placed them on a window sill in the sun for an hour and then measured the warmth of the air in each box. In this experiment, the time of an hour is a(n) . A. Dependent Variable
B. Constant
C. Independent Variable
D. Control

As shown in fig. p3.64, a closed, rigid tank fitted with a fine-wire electric resistor is filled with refrigerant 22, initially at 2108c, a quality of 80%, and a volume of 0.01 m3. a 12-volt battery provides a 5-amp current to the resistor for 5 minutes. if the final temperature of the refrigerant is 408c, determine the heat transfer, in kj, from the refrigerant.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Awoman stands a distance d from a loud motor that emits sound uniformly in all directions. the sound intensity at her position is an uncomfortable 2.0×10-3 w/m2. at a distance 2.6 times as far from the motor, what are (a) the sound intensity and (b) the sound intensity level relative to the threshold of hearing?
