Q: Process:  - Your thermostat senses that the room temperature has fallen below your thermostat setting - Your thermostat sends a signal to your heating system to provide heat for your home - When your oil burner is engaged, heating oil travels from the tank to the burner by way of a pump - Here the oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air - The fuel/air mixture is then injected into the burner where it is ignited in the combustion chamber - The warm air is disbursed through vents, hot water through baseboards, or by steam radiators -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the thermostat signals the heating system less often happens, how will it affect LESS heat for the house.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - Get an ice cube tray - Fill the tray with cool water - Place the tray in the freezer - Leave the tray in the freezer for a few hours - Take they tray out of the freezer - Pop the ice cubes out of tray.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose ice is needed for a cooler happens, how will it affect more trays are placed in the freezer.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - Coal is burned - Sulfur in the coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur oxides - The sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere - The sulfides combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulfur trioxide - The sulfur trioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a very strong acid - The sulfuric acid makes the rain acidic -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose wind energy becomes less viable happens, how will it affect more sulfuric acid is formed.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - The salt water is heated - As the saltwater is heated the water becomes a gas - The salt particles sink to the bottom of the container - Gaseous water is piped into another container - Allowed to cool - The salt particles are left behind in the first container - The second container contains fresh water.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the open container takes longer to heat happens, how will it affect less water becomes a gas.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
yes
