9. A student notices that wearing darker colors in sunlight makes him feel warmer, so he decides to conduct an experiment. He takes five pieces of different colored cloth and wraps
each one around a water bottle. He then places all five bottles in direct sunlight and measures the temperature of the water in each bottle an hour later
What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
O the time he leaves it in the sunlight
O the amount of water in each bottle
O the color of the cloth
O the temperature of the water

The four giant gas points that are made primarily of lightweight elements are

Astronomers discover an exoplanet (a planet of a star other than the sun) that has an orbital period of 3.87 earth years in its circular orbit around its sun, which is a star with a measured mass of 3.59 x 1030 kg. find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit.

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
