Answer:

d) Independent variable

Explanation:

In an experiment we are generally finding which variable changes with respect to another variable.

The variable which is changing irrespective of the other variable is called the independent variable i.e., generally considered as the input.

The variable which is changing with respect of the independent variable is called the dependent variable i.e., generally considered as the output.

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 10.5 mm also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.95 atmatm. W

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

Height of sea water, z₁ = 10.5 m

gauge pressure, $P_{gauge \ pressure}$ = 2.95 atm

Atmospheric pressure, $P_{atm}$ = 101325 Pa

To determine the speed of the water, apply Bernoulli's equation;

$P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where;

P₁ = $P_{gauge \ pressure} + P_{atm \ pressure}$

P₂ = $P_{atm}$

v₁ = 0

z₂ = 0

Substitute in these values and the Bernoulli's equation will reduce to;

$P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (0)^2 = P_2 + \rho g(0) + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} + P_{atm} + \rho gz_1 = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} + \rho gz_1 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2(P_{gauge} + \rho gz_1)}{\rho} \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(P_{gauge} + \rho gz_1)}{\rho} }$

where;

$\rho$ is the density of seawater = 1030 kg/m³

$v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(2.95*101325 \ + \ 1030*9.8*10.5 )}{1030} }\\\\v_2 = 28.04 \ m/s$

Therefore, the water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line

poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s$

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =

zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10 Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.
