Answer:

<em>1108.464 N of force</em>

Explanation:

diameter of water hose = 70 cm = 0.7 m

radius = 0.7/2 = 0.35 m

volumetric flow rate Q = 420 L/min

1 L = 0.001 m^3

1 min = 60 s

therefore,

Q = 420 L/min = (420 x 0.001)/60 = 0.007 m^3/s

Area A of fire hose = πr^{2} = 3.142 x 0.35^{2} = 0.38 m^2

<em>From continuity equation, Q = AV</em>

where V1 is the velocity of the water through the pipe, and A1 is the area of the pipe.

Q = A1V1

0.007 = 0.38V1

V1 = 0.007/0.38 = 0.018 m/s.

Nozzle diameter = 0.75 cm = 0.0075 m

radius = 0.00375

Area = πr^{2} = 3.142 x 0.00375^{2} = 4.42 x 10^{-5} m^2

velocity of water through the nozzle will be

V2 = Q/A2 = 0.007 ÷ (4.42 x 10^{-5}) = 158.37 m/s

From

<em>F = ρQ(v2 - v1)</em>

Where,

F = force exerted

p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

F = 1000 x 0.007 x (158.37 - 0.018) = <em>1108.464 N of force</em>

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?
mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.

3. Will a plant grow higher with more light?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to identify the given sentence with a specific part of the scientific method.

Among the parts of the method we have.

* Independent variable . The controlled variable in research

*Dependent variable. The magnitude measured in the experiment

* Control variable. The magnitude that is not controlled

*Experiment. It is the design of the procedure to evaluate the hypothesis

* Hypothesis. It is the assumption with which scientific work begins

* Prediction. It is a consequence of work if the mortgage is correct.

When we analyze the sentence we see that this is a hypotype with the growth of plants must behave and it has a prediction included.

Therefore the correct answer is a

How can seismographs be used to predict hurricane intensity?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: The earth is a noisy place. Seismometers, which measure ground movements to detect earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and manmade explosives, are constantly recording smaller vibrations caused by ocean waves, rushing rivers, and industrial activity.

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!
