Answer

given,

discharge rate from pipe = 1000 gallons/minutes

now,

flow rate in  cubic meters per second

1 gallon = 0.00378541 m³

1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.00378541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 0.063 m³/s

flow rate in  liters per minute

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

 Q = 1000\times \dfrac{3.78541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}

 Q = 3785.41 m³/min

flow rate in cubic feet per second

 1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³

 1 min = 60 s

Q = 1000\times \dfrac{0.133681\ ft^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}

Q = 2.23 ft³/s

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?
GaryK [48]
Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment. 
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

<em>The lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

Explanation:

Sound: Sound is a form of wave which is conveyed through an elastic medium from a vibrating body to a listener.

v = 2x/t .......................................... Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation

x = vt/2........................................ Equation 2

Where v = velocity of sound in air, x = distance traveled by the sound, t = time

Given: v = 344 m/s t = 8 s

Substituting into equation 2

x = 344(8)/2

x = 1376 m.

x = 1376×0.00062 miles = 0.853 miles

<em>Thus the lighten travels 0.853 miles.</em>

If something is being carried by westerlies, what direction is it moving??
sergejj [24]
Winds are immigrants. They're named for where they have already been and are coming from, not for where they're going.

A Westerly wind is coming from the West. Anything caught in it is being blown toward the east.

Which formula can be used to find the tangential speed of an orbiting object?
Luden [163]
The correct formula for calculating the tangential speed of an orbiting object is V(t)=wr.
V(t)= Tangential Speed
w= Angular Velocity
r= Radius of the Path

Hope this helps.

In a certain time period a coil of wire is rotated from one orientation to another with respect to a uniform 0.38-T magnetic fie
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

8.4 V

Explanation:

induced emf, e1 = 5.8 V

Magnetic field, B1 = 0.38 T

magnetic field, B2 = 0.55 T

induced emf, e2 = ?

As we know that the induced emf is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength.

When the other parameters remains constant then

\frac{e_{1}}{e_{2}}=\frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}

\frac{5.8}{e_{2}}=\frac{0.38}{0.55}

e2 = 8.4 V

Thus, the induced emf is 8.4 V.
