In this experiment, the control group would be the penny! The independent variable is the substance/water on the penny, and the dependent is how many drops the penny takes.
Independent variable: This is the one you're changing in the experiment, so it's the type of solution that you're dropping on the penny. Dependent variable: This is the one that you're measuring. In this case, it's how many drops you can get onto a penny without the water spilling off. Control variable: These are things that you keep the same throughout all of the experiments to make sure that your results are actually due to the changes in the independent variable, not some other random change you made. You used the same penny and dropper.
The penny's state of corrosion.
Yes, in this experiment, the variable "alcohol" refers to the liquid being tested to see how many drops can fit on a penny. By changing the type of alcohol used, you can observe how it affects the number of drops that can fit on the penny due to variations in surface tension and viscosity.
There aren't a definite amount of drops in a volume. there are a few ways to control the size of a drop but it's not reproducible.
By adjusting an electric field.
Idle Air Control Valve.
There are approximately 10-15 drops in 0.5 ml depending on the size of the dropper and the viscosity of the liquid.
Missing a birth control pill can result in breakthrough bleeding. As the hormone level in your body drops, bleeding can occur.
It depends. You might imagine situations in which you would need to add oil to a mechanism in drops. In such a situation you would not add 3.24 drops, you would add, say, 4 or 5 drops. In these situations the amount of oil would be discrete. On the other hand, the measure of the oil in a tank could be given to some considerable degree of precision. It would not be counted. In this case the amount of oil would be (effectively) continuous.
You read the instructions on the box and call poison control. Their USA number is 1-800-222-1222.
If they are eye drops you should NEVER take them orally. I am a nurse and if you take anything orally that isn't prescribed to be used in that way, you should contact a poison control center or go to the E.R. immediatley.
