Eratosthenes determined the circumference of Earth by conducting an experiment. Put his steps in order as they correlate to the

scientific method.
1. State the Problem:
2. Make a Hypothesis:
3. Make Observations:
A) If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.
B) In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.

Solution: The correct order is: C, A, B

The statement of the problem:

How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?

Hypotheis:

If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.

If the Earth was flat, the angle measured at different places at the same time of the day would be same.

Observation:

In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.

An intravenous (IV) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the rate of 0.06 cm3/s through a needle of radius 0.2 mm
horsena [70]

Answer:

Pressure applied to the needle is 7528 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's law of flow of liquid through a cylindrical pipe

the rate of flow through the pipe is given as

Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

now we know that

Q = 0.06 \times 10^{-6} m^3/s

radius = 0.2 mm

Length = 6.32 cm

\eta = 1\times 10^{-3} Pa s

now we have

6 \times 10^{-8} = \frac{\Delta P \pi (0.2 \times 10^{-3})^4}{8(1 \times 10^{-3})6.32 \times 10^{-2}}

3.03 \times 10^{-11} = \Delta P 5.02 \times 10^{-15}

\Delta P = 6028 Pa

now we have

P - 1500 = 6028 Pa

P = 7528 Pa

What does density have to do with heat?
joja [24]
If you take a fluid (i.e. air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is<span><span> not heated.</span> </span>
