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

Be-36 what hull type is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers?

LenaWriter [7]

The hull type that is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers is Flat Bottom Hull.
A flat bottomed boat is a boat with a flat bottomed, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water.

The graph shows the displacement of a mouse

hram777 [196]

The farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.

From the graph,

The positions reached after,

5 s = 4 m

10 s = 2 m

20 s = 2 m

35 s = 3 m

40 s = 0 m

So the farthest position here is 4 m into the tunnel.

The rate of change of positions is displacement. So displacement will be change in initial and final positions divided by change in time.

s = Δx / Δt

Therefore, the farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.

A circuit consists of a battery connected to three resistors (65 ω, 25ω, and 170ω) in parallel. the total current through the re

White raven [17]

A. To find the total emf of the battery, just remember that in a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same throughout the circuit. So you can get the total voltage of the circuit by using Ohm's Law.

$I= \frac{V}{R}$

Where:
I = current (A)
V = Voltage (V) (emf)
R = Resitance (Ω)

Now you can derive the formula of Voltage by transposing the Resistance to the other side of the equation to isolate Voltage. The formula you will now use will be:
$V = IR$

However, you cannot solve this yet because the resistance you need is the total resistance in the circuit. To do this, you need to get the total resistance in this parallel circuit and the formula would be:

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

You have three resistors with the following resistance:
65Ω, 25Ω and 170Ω
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}}+ \frac{1}{R_{2}}+ \frac{1}{R_{3}}...+ \frac{1}{R_{n}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{R_{65}}+ \frac{1}{R_{25}}+ \frac{1}{R_{170}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0153+0.04+0.006+0.0059$
$\frac{1}{R_{T}} =0.0613$

Get the reciprocal of both sides and divide:

$R_{T} = \frac{1}{0.0613} =16.32$

The total resistance then is 16.32Ω

Now that you have the total resistance, you can solve for the total voltage:
$V = IR$
$V = (1.8)(16.32)$
$V = 29.376V$

The emf of the battery is 29.376V

B. To find the resistance in each resistor, just apply Ohm's law again. In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same, but the current that runs through it is different for each resistor. Now just solve for the current of each using the same voltage.

Resistor 1: 65Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{65}$
$I= 0.45A$

The current flowing through resistor 1 with a resistance of 65Ω is 0.45A.

Resistor 2: 25Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{25}$
$I= 1.18A$
The current flowing through resistor 2 with a resistance of 25Ω is 1.18A.

Resistor 3: 170Ω
$I= \frac{V}{R}$
$I= \frac{29.376}{170}$
$I= 0.17A$

The current flowing through resistor 3 with a resistance of 170Ω is 0.17A.

If you add up all their current it confirms the given that the total current running through all of them is 1.8A.

Which temperature scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water?

drek231 [11]

Answer: The correct answer is kelvin.

Explanation:

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin is as follows:

K= 273 + degree Celsius

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows:

$F=(Degree Celsius\times \frac{9}{5})+ 32$

The freezing point of water on Celsius degree is zero degree Celsius. The freezing point on kelvin scale is 273.15 K.

The boiling point of water on Celsius degree is 100 degree Celsius. The boiling point on kelvin scale is 373.15 K. The boiling point on Fahrenheit scale is 373.15 K.

Therefore, Kelvin scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water.
