Answer:

The acceleration of the car at the instant when t=3s is found by taking the gradient of the tangent at the point t=3.

The tangent are those dotted lines sloping upwards in the graph.

Tangent: A straight line that touches the curve and does not intersect it.

The reason why they wrote instantaneous is because the acceleration (or gradient of graph) is not constant throughout hence it is just at the moment when t=3s.

Gradient is used to find the acceleration of a speed time graph.

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density 1.23 g/cm3. The area of ea
motikmotik

Explanation:

Work done by gravity is given by the formula,

           W = \rho A (h_{1} - h)g (h - h_{2}) ......... (1)

It is known that when levels are same then height of the liquid is as follows.

           h = \frac{h_{1} + h_{2}}{2} ......... (2)

Putting value of equation (2) in equation (1) the overall formula will be as follows.

       W = \frac{1}{4} \rho gA(h_{1} - h_{2})^{2})

           = \frac{1}{4} \times 1.23 g/cm^{3} \times 9.80 m/s^{2} \times 3.89 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}(1.76 m - 0.993 m)^{2})

           = 0.689 J

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is 0.689 J.

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.
