Jimmy is cooking pasta in a pot of water on the stove. He uses a stopwatch to see how long the pasta takes to cook depending on

the temperature of the water in the pot. What is the independent variable and why?

Answer:

stove

Explanation:

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

The pot depends on the stove, the water depends on the pot and stove, the pasta depends on the water and its temperature.

Cheers.

If Anisa swims 85.4 yards in five minutes, how many meters will she swim in 70.0 seconds? ( use the metric system for this quest
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : 18.22 meters

Explanation:

1 yard. = 0.9144 meters

85.4 yards = 78.08976 meters

1 minute = 60 seconds

5 minutes = 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = distance / time

Speed of Anisa = 78.08976 meters / 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = 0.26029 meters / second.

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = speed * 70

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = 0.26029 * 70 = 18.22 meters

A mass is attached to a vertical spring, which then goes into oscillation. At the high point of the oscillation, the spring is i
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.34 sec

Explanation:

Low point of spring ( length of stretched spring ) = 5.8 cm

midpoint of spring = 5.8 / 2 = 2.9 cm

Determine the oscillation period

at equilibrum condition

Kx = Mg

g= 9.8 m/s^2

x = 2.9 * 10^-2 m

k / m = 9.8 / ( 2.9 * 10^-2 ) =  337.93

note : w = \sqrt{k/m}   = \sqrt{337.93} = 18.38 rad/sec

Period of oscillation =  2\pi  / w

                                  = 0.34 sec

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after
Delicious77 [7]
\Delta L=  \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. Honeybees are able to sense electri
Vilka [71]

Answer:

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the electric field expression

         E = k q / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant that is equal to 9 109 N m² /C², q the charge and r the distance to the point of interest positive test charge, in this case the distance to the bee

let's calculate the field for each charge

 

Q = 24 pC = 24 10⁻¹² C

         E₁ = 9 10⁹ 24 10⁻¹² / 0.20²

         E₁ = 5.4 N / C

Q = 32 pC = 32 10⁻¹² C

         E₂ = 9 10⁹ 32 10⁻¹² / 0.2²

         E₂ = 7.2 N / C

let's find the difference between these two fields

         ΔE = E₂ -E₁

         ΔE = 7.2 - 5.4

         ΔE = 1.8 N / C

the minimum detection field is

         E_minimum = 0.77 N / C

        ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

an engine has been design to work between source and the sink at temperature 177 degree Celsius and 27 degree Celsius respective
irina [24]

<u>Given data</u>

Source temperature (T₁) = 177°C = 177+273 = 450 K

Sink temperature (T₂) = 27°C = 27+273 = 300 K

Energy input (Q₁) = 3600 J ,

Work done = ?

                We know that, efficiency (η) = Net work done ÷ Heat supplied

                                                           η =   W ÷ Q₁  

                                                           W = η × Q₁

               First determine the efficiency ( η ) = ?

                                Also, we know that ( η ) = (T₁ - T₂) ÷ (T₁)

                                                                        = 33.3% = 0.333

               Now, Work done is W = η × Q₁

                                                    = 0.33 × 3600

                                                 <em>  W = 1188 J</em>

<em>Work done by the engine is 1188 J</em>
