Answer:

1. A non example of a constant in physics is a value that changes. For example, the temperature of Hong Kong, let's say, is not a constant, since it changes and does not stay at the same value. It gets higher in the summer and lower in the winter.

2. An example of a constant in physics would be the gravitational acceleration of the Earth. Since the Earth's mass' changes is negligible when compared with the overall mass of the Earth (unless something big happens, of course, like a meteor or asteroid), the gravitational acceleration on Earth is largely unchanged, even constant from our viewpoint.

Answer:

a science experiment, the controlled or constant variable is a variable that does not change. For example, in an experiment to test the effect of different lights on plants, other factors that affect plant growth and health, such as soil quality and watering, would need to remain constant. a dependant variable(opposite)would be the properties of the plants themselves, which the scientist is observing in relation to the changing light. These properties might include the plants' color, height and general health of the plant
