Why are variables important in a science investigation?

Your 249 ml cup of coffee is too hot to drink when served at 82 degree celsius. what is the mass of an ice cube taken from a -21 degree celsius freezer, that will cool your coffee to a pleasant 54 degree celsius. specific heat of the water is 4190 j/kg c, specific heat of ice is 2090 j/kg c, heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 x 10^5 j/kg

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)

Select the three ways that the parallel-plate capacitor differs from a car battery.
