Answer:

A. When the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

Explanation:

A graph can be defined as the graphical representation of data (informations) on horizontal and vertical lines i.e x-axis and y-axis respectively.

In an experiment , the variable being manipulated by an experimenter is known as an independent variable while the dependent variable is the event expected to change when the independent variable is manipulated

Generally, a line graph should be used when the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

This ultimately implies that, a line graph should be used when the data changes continuously over time and as such there exist a linear relationship between the data (variables).

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?

anastassius [24]

The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
$\rho = \frac{AR}{L}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
$A=\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
$\rho = \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}$

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
$\rho' = \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4 \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L} = 4 \rho$
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gent

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

A circular sign has a diameter of 40 cm and is subjected to normal winds up to 150 km/h at 10°C and 100 kPa. Determine the drag

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

147.7 N

221.55 Nm

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 100000 Pa

$R_s$ = Mass-specific gas constant = 287.015 J/kg k

T = Temperature = 10+273 = 283 K

C = Drag coefficient = 1.1

A = Area

r = Radius = 0.2 m

v = Speed of wind = $\frac{150}{3.6}\ m/s$

L = Length of pole

Density

$\rho=\frac{P}{R_sT}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{100000}{287.058\times 283}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.2309\ kg/m^3$

Drag force

$F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2309\times 1.1\times \left(\pi \times 0.2^2\right)\times \left(\frac{150}{3.6}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow F=147.7\ N$

Force on the circular sign is 147.7 N

$M=F\times L\\\Rightarrow M=147.7\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow M=221.55\ Nm$

Bending moment at the bottom of the pole is 221.55 Nm
