Answer:

Scientific theory is a well-supported explanation of an occurrence of a natural phenomenon. Scientific law is a description of a natural phenomenon that is always observed to occur under specific circumstances.

Una manguera de agua de 1.3 cm de diametro es utilizada para llenar una cubeta de 24 Litros. Si la cubeta se llena en 48 s. A) ¿
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

We must translate this:

a 1.3 cm diameter water hose is used to fill a 24-liter bucket. If the bucket is filled in 48 s.  

A) What is the speed with which the water leaves the hose?

B) if the diameter of the hose is reduced to 0.63 cm and assuming the same flow, what will be the speed of the water leaving the hose?

A) If the velocity of the water is Xcm/s

and the radius of the hose is equal to half its diameter, so it is 1.3cm/2

Then in one second we can considerate that a cylinder of:

V = pi*(1.3cm/2)^2*X cm^3 of water.

So we have that quantity in one second of flow.

where pi = 3.14

then in 48 seconds, the amount of water in the bucket is:

V = 48*pi*(1.3/2)^2*X = 24 L = 24,000 cm^3

Now we need to solve this for X.

48*3.14*(1.3/2)^2*X = 24000

63.679*x = 24000

x = 24000/63.679 = 376.89

So the velocity of the water is 376 cm per second.

B) if the diameter is 0.64cm, we have the equation:

48*3.14*(0.63/2)^2*x = 24000

14.955*X = 24000

X = 24000/14.955 = 1604.814 cm/s

What are two types of diffraction?
tino4ka555 [31]
Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction. Fresnel diffraction is produced when light from a point source meets an obstacle, the waves are spherical and the pattern observed is a fringed image of the object. Fraunhofer diffraction occurs with plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity. The pattern is in a particular direction and is a fringed image of the source.

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.

It is generally seen that, when a substance absorbs heat energy, its heating curve shows two plateaus. Which phenomenon is indic
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.
