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).

A system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)

artcher [175]

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

A hiker, caught in a rainstorm might absorb 1 liter of water in her clothing. if it is windy so that this amount of water is eva

NeTakaya

Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$
