Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 11 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 27.9 centimeters. After 30 hours of burning, its height is 26 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 20 hours?

Answer:

y = 27 cm

Explanation:

given,

After 11 hours of burning height of candle is 27.9 cm

After 30 hours of burning height of candle is 26 cm

height after 20 hour = ?

the candle height decreases linearly

using linear equation

y = m x+ c

27.9 = m (11 ) + C.......(1)

26 = m (30) + C..............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2)

1.9 = -19 m

m = -0.1

from equation 2

26 = -3 + C

C = 29

y = m x + 29

at 20 hour

y = -0.1× 20 + 29

y = 27

height of candle after 20 hours is 27 cm.

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

V = 6.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

m₁ = 2 kg

m₂ = 18 kg

m₃ = 9 kg

V₁ = 10 m/s

V₂ = 8 m/s

V₃ = 2 m/s

__________

V - ?

Let us write the momentum conservation law for an inelastic impact:

m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ = (m₁ +m₂ + m₃) ·V

Cart speed after interaction:

V = ( m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ ) / (m₁ +m₂ + m₃)

V = (2·10 + 18·8 + 9·2) / ( 2 + 18 + 9) = 182 / 29 ≈  6.3 m/s
