D) decreases, inverse

Explanation:

The average speed of each lap decreases. This is an example of an inverse relationship.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. In calculating the average speed, we should understand that the total length of path is taken into consideration and so is the total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance}{total time}$

It was explained that after every 5 seconds the speed of the runner becomes slower.

There is definitely an inverse relationship between average speed and the total time taken.

An inverse relationship is such that as one variable increases, the other diminishes.

As average speed reduces the time taken increases.

Luden [163]

Answer:

$P=1362\ W$

$t'=251.659\ s$ is time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature.

Explanation:

Given:

initial temperature of water, $T_i=18^{\circ}C$

time taken to vapourize half a liter of water, $t=18\ min=1080\ s$

desity of water, $\rho=1\ kg.L^{-1}$

So, the givne mass of water, $m=1\ kg$

enthalpy of vaporization of water, $h_{fg}=2256.4\times 10^{-3}\ J.kg^{-1}$

specific heat of water, $c=4180\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of given water mass to 100°C:

$Q_s=m.c.\Delta T$

$Q_s=1\times 4180\times (100-18)$

$Q_s=342760\ J$

Now the amount of heat required to vaporize 0.5 kg of water:

$Q_v=m'\times h_{fg}$

where:

$m'=0.5\ kg=$ mass of water vaporized due to boiling

$Q_v=0.5\times 2256.4$

$Q_v=1.1282\times 10^{6}\ J$

Now the power rating of the boiler:

$P=\frac{Q_s+Q_v}{t}$

$P=\frac{342760+1128200}{1080}$

$P=1362\ W$

Now the time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature:

$t'=\frac{Q_s}{P}$

$t'=\frac{342760}{1362}$

$t'=251.659\ s$
