A 11-inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 0.9 inches per hour. Let t t represent the number of hours since the can

dle was lit, and suppose f f is a function such that f ( t ) f(t) represents the remaining length of the candle (in inches) t t hours after it was lit. Write a function formula for f f.

Answer: F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

Explanation:

We know the following:

The candle burns at a ratio given by:

Burning Ratio (Br)  = 0.9 inches / hour

The candle is 11 inches long.

To be able to create a function that give us how much on the candle remains after turning it after a time (t). We will need to know how much of the candle have been burned after t.

Let look the following equation:

Br = Candle Inches (D) / Time for the Candle to burn (T)      (1)

Where (1) is similar to the Velocity equation:

Velocity (V) = Distance (D)/Time(T)

This because is only a relation between a magnitude and time.

Let search for D on (1)

D = Br*T  (2)

Where D is how much candle has been burn in a specif time

To create a function that will tell us how longer remains of the candle after be given a variable time (t) we use the total lenght minus (2):

How much candle remains? ( F(t) ) = 11 inches - Br*t

F(t) = 11 - 0.9(t)

F(t) defines the remaining length of the candle t hours after being lit

An electron moving with a velocity = 5.0 × 10 7 m/s enters a region of space where perpendicular electric and a magnetic fields
inna [77]

Answer:

The magnetic field is 2 \times 10^{-4} T

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of electron v = 5 \times 10^{7} \frac{m}{s}

Electric field E = 10^{4} \frac{V}{m}

The force on electron in magnetic field is given by,

 F = qvB \sin \theta                      ......(1)

The force on electron in electric field is given by,

 F = qE                               ......(2)

Compare both equation,

   qE = qvB \sin \theta

Here \sin \theta = 1

  E = vB

  B= \frac{E}{v}

  B = \frac{10^{4} }{5 \times 10^{7} }

  B = 2 \times 10^{-4} T

Therefore, the magnetic field is 2 \times 10^{-4} T

Light of wavelength 630 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d \frac{x}{l} = m×  λ⇒ d = λ ×m×l / x

= 630×10^{-9} m × 3×3m/ 45×10^{-3} m

= 1.26×10^{-4}m

Explanation:

the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.

As the population in a small town grows, a new water treatment plant is built. The plant is built on a local river where it can
abruzzese [7]

Treatment water from the plant would affects the communities present in the downstream of the river.

Answer: Option (a)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wastewater treatment plant is a process used to treat the water that flows from the rivers, streams, and lakes.This plant removes the dust, sand, sediments present in the river water.

When this treated water is released into the downriver stream, it affects the health of aquatic organisms present in that stream.Use of chemicals in treating the wastewater may cause genetic problems to the communities present in that region.

It also causes air pollution and more energy is needed for the treatment process and thus affects the ecosystem.
