Two students measured the length of their desk each using a different meter stick. One student reported a length of 18 cm and th

e other reported a length of 82cm. What is the most likely explanation for the difference?

The answer to this question is letter C) Each student read the meter stick from different angles.

The students might have been reading the meter stick facing each other. So when one reads the meter stick as 18, the other student will read the reverse image of the measurement. 18 and 82 can be easily mistaken when reversed.

Estimate how long a 2500 W electric kettle would take to boil away 1.5 Kg of water . The specific latent heat of vaporization of
andrew-mc [135]

The time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds

<h3>How to calculate the time</h3>

Use the formula:

Power × time = mass × specific heat

Given mass = 1. 5kg

Specific latent heat of vaporization = 4000000 J/ Kg

Power = 2500 W

Substitute the values into the formula

Power × time = mass × specific heat

2500 × time = 1. 5 × 4000000

Make 'time' the subject

time = 1. 5 × 4000000 ÷ 2500 = 6000000 ÷ 2500 = 2400 seconds

Therefore, the time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds.

Using Excel, or some other graphing software, plot the values of y as a function of x. (You will not submit this spreadsheet. Ho
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

b) y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following data:

x: 1,2,3,4,5

y: 1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1, 6

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept)            x  

      1.10         0.98  

Part b

For this case we have the following trend equation given:

y = 0.98 x +1.10

And if we compare this with the general model y = mx +b

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Which is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.
