Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a

cre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumps 1.7 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 29 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Answer: A

si, di, are expressed as negative and f is expressed as positive values.

Explanation:

When the object is located at a location in front of the focal point of a convex len, the image will always be located somewhere on the same side of the lens as the object. The image is located behind the object. In this case, the image will be an upright image and the image is enlarged

In this question, the relationship between the focal length, image distance di and object distance is

I/f = 1/di + 1/do that is

I/f - 1/di - 1/do = 0

The image size si is also negative since the image is a virtual image.

Therefore, si, di, are expressed as negative, f is expressed as positive values.

A long solenoid has a diameter of 11.1 cm. When a current i exists in its windings, a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 42
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

E(1) = 1.44\times 10^{-4} v/m

E(2) = 1.34\times 10^{-4} v/m

Explanation:

Given data:

diameter of solenoid is 11.1 cm

B = 42.9 mT

dR = 6.65 mT/s

d(1) = 4.34 cm

d(2) = 7.46 cm

we know that

electric field due to solenoid is given as

E = 1/2 dB/dt (r)

E(1)= \frac{0.0434}{2} \times (6.65\times 10^{-3})

E(1) = 1.44\times 10^{-4} v/m

E = 1/2 dB/dt (R^2)/r

E(2)= \frac{0.055^2}{2\times 0.0746} \times (6.65\times 10^{-3})

E(2) = 1.34\times 10^{-4} v/m

A paper filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 2.1 V and then disconnected from the charging circuit. The diel
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Part a)

V' = 7.77 Volts

Part b)

k' = 6.27

Explanation:

As we know that capacitor plate is connected across 2.1 V and after charging it is disconnected from the battery

So here we can say that charge on the plates will remain conserved

So we will have

Q = kC(2.1)

now dielectric is removed between the plates of capacitor

so new potential difference between the plates

V' = \frac{Q}{C'}

V' = \frac{kC(2.1)}{C}

V' = 3.7 \times 2.1

V' = 7.77 Volts

Part b)

Now the capacitor plates are again isolated and unknown dielectric is inserted between the plates

So again charge is same so potential difference is given as

V" = \frac{Q}{k'C}

0.59 V = \frac{kCV}{k'C}

0.59 = \frac{3.7}{k'}

k' = 6.27

If different groups of scientist have access to the same data, how can they draw different conclusions?
vazorg [7]

If a group of scientists have access to one data, from the data they can draw conclusions either through mathematics or just thought experiments.

Those thought experiments is different for any scientist, no one thinks the same especially when the topic is difficult.

For example when talking about parallel universes, scientists have come up with the weirdest examples of a multiverse. Some thinking of a brane universe, while others say that its a landscape universe, quilted universe. All of their 'evidence' seems correct but they have opposite meanings.

A weird analogy is 'religion'. All the religions seem to have 'evidences' (hardly) that attract people towards it, they all make sense but that doesn't mean that their evidence is right.

----

Now if they're trying to break down the data using maths, there could be a great uncertainty and measurement error that if done enough could change the whole idea behind the data.

Interesting question, I can babble for days for this but lets keep it as that
