Who gave us close up views of the gas giants and showed us their moons

Answers

Hi there!

The spacecraft widely known for it's beautiful images of the gas giants and its moons is the Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 & 2). The Voyagers took advantage of a rare opportunity in which all the gas giant planets were aligned that allowed them to get a gravity assist from each planet allowing for extremely close pictures and extremely high speeds on the spacecraft.

Answers

Answer:

Following questions are better answered by observational study:

- How does the daytime temperature affect the formation of dew at night?

- How effective is a new toothpaste in reducing cavities?

Following questions are better answered by controlled experiment:

- Which is a better absorber of heat, an object painted black or the same object painted white?

- Why does a rolling ball slow down as it moves?

- Can plants prepare food even in artificial light?

Explanation:

An observational study is one in which the researcher doesn't manipulate anything.

In a controlled experiment, the researcher manipulate the outcome of the experiment and controls the factors that might affect the experiment to see different results in different conditions.

So, for questions over which research do not have any control, mostly natural processes, observational study is a better option.

However, to check why a rolling ball slow down, controlled experiments are done to find out all the factors.

Plants placed in artificial light is also an controlled experiment as the researcher will himself place the plants in artificial light and keep them away from natural light.

Similarly, to check if color of the object affects the amount of heat absorbed by that object, a controlled experiment must be performed. Same object should be painted white and observed and then painted black and observed.

Krista and Blaire are identical twins that were separated at birth. Both of the girls are scared of thunder when they are young. Krista's adoptive parents teach her to deal with her fear by pretending that the thunder is a big drum in an orchestra. Blaire's adoptive parents, on the other hand, teach her to deal with her fear of thunder by thinking about sunny days ahead.Both girls have inherited a fear of thunder.

Why is it important that the mouth and stomach are near the start of the digestive system? thx

Answers

Answer: To complete the process of digestion after the food is ingested by mouth.

Explanation:

The food that we eat is ingested by mouth and here the mechanical degradation of food takes place. This breaks down the food into smaller pieces.

Mouth also contains the enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch.

Then the food from the mouth reaches the stomach where various types of digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to digested the food.

Hence, mouth and stomach must be near in the digestive system.

Because the mouth breaks down the food and the stomach uses acid to break food down even more
