An aspiring engineer wants to build a timer by taking a glass cylinder, filling it with water, suspending it in the air, and cut

ting a small hole in the bottom. He notes that at 1 p.m., the cylinder is 80% full, and at 2 p.m., it is 65% full. Draw a graph expressing this and interpret the meaning of the y-intercept.

Answer:

y axis denotes the level of water in cylinder

x axis denotes the time

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At 1 p.m. cylinder is 80% full i.e. 0.80.

           At 2 p.m. cylinder is 65% full i.e. 0.65.

Solution :

time(x) :        1                    2

level (y) :      0.80            0.65

Using these points we can plot the graph (refer the attached figure)

In the figure y axis denotes the level of water in cylinder

x axis denotes the time

We can also find the equation of the graph by using two point slope form :

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})  ---a

Where m is the slope

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Since  (x_{1} ,y_{1}) =(1,0.80)

           (x_{2} ,y_{2}) =(2,0.65)

Thus  slope (m) =

m=\frac{0.65 -0.80}{2-1}

m=-0.15

Now putting values in equation a

y-0.80 =-0.15(x-1)

y-0.80 =-0.15x+0.15

0.15x+y-0.95=0

Thus the required equation of the situation or the graph is

0.15x+y-0.95=0

THE GRAPH IS ATTACHED AND Y INTERCEPT DENOTES THE LEVEL OF WATER

Level, x       1      0.8    0.65
time, y        0        1       2

The graph is not a straight line, it is curved. You can observe this only if you include the point (1,0), which is the level at the begining (100%)

The y - intercept is the full level, at the beginning of the experiment.

Answer:

422 in.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the measurements of the rectangular prism into the formula SA = 2(lw) + 2 (lw) + 2(lh): 2(13)(7) + 2(6)(7) + 2(13)(6) = 422 in2.

Find the area of this shape.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bottom triangle

Area = b * height

b = 4 + 4 = 8 cm

h = 5.75

Area = 1/2 * 5.75 * 8

Area = 23 cm^2

Trapezoid

b1 = 8

b2 = 4

h = 2

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/ 2

Area = (8 + 4)*2 /2

Area = 12

Total area = 23 + 12

Total area = 35

To show what he learned about the properties of volume for solids, liquids and gases, Viktor wrote the following summary.
Brrunno [24]

The wrong statement in Viktor's summary is When a round solid ball is placed in a box, the ball takes the shape of the box

The matter has three main states which are

  • Solid
  • Liquid
  • Gas

These states define the way we interact and manipulate materials. For instance:

  • Liquids take the shape of the container that contains them. For example water, milk, soda, among others.
  • Solids have a defined shape and do not deform when manipulated or placed inside another container. For example, a round solid ball.
  • Gases generally do not have colors and their atoms are not organized so they do not have a definite shape and take the shape of their container. For example, the air in a balloon.

According to the above, the error in Viktor's summary is in the first phase, and the correct statement is A. because solids does not take the shape of its container.
