Answer:

It'll take 144 minutes for 5 pipes.

Step-by-step explanation:

${ \sf{6 \: pipes = 120 \: mins}} \\ { \sf{5 \: pipes = ( \frac{6}{5} \times 120) \: mins}} \\ \\ = { \sf{144 \: mins}}$

but practically, it seems to be abnormal. if 6 pipes take 120 mins, 5 pipes must takes a time greater than 120 mins cause amount of water flowing to the tank is decreasing.

But there is a possibility that pressure of water was increased for the case of five pipes, that's why it takes a time less than 120 mins. (t < 120)

Answer:

144 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

here we use inverse proportion because the more pipes there are the less time is needed

the formula for inverse proportion is y = k/x

first we need to find k which is the constant

if y is the number of minutes and x is the number of pipes we can substitute these into the formula like so: 120 = k/6

to find k rearrange the formula to get k = 6 * 120 = 720

now that we have k we can substitute 720 (k) and 5 (x) into y = k/x

y = 720 / 5

y = 144

(y is the number of minutes in this case so the answer is 144 minutes)

a 1 kg ball has 10 joules of kinetic energy and starts to roll up a hill how far up the hill will it be when it stops

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The ball will roll upto 1 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 1 kg ball has 10 joules of kinetic energy and starts to roll up a hill.

As along the hill the ball rises up, it loses its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy plus the potential energy equals a constant.

Here given kinetic energy as 10 J, so this energy will get converted to potential energy.

We know that, potential energy is

$P.E=m\cdot g\cdot h$

where,

m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow 10=1\times 10\times h$

$\Rightarrow 10=10 h$

$\Rightarrow h=1\ m$

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply.

choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, exterior angles are any angle place between any side of a shape and a line extended from the next side, as the figure shows.

As you can see, angle 2 and 3 are formed by a side of the triangle and an extended line from the next side. Similarly, angles 5 and 6 are formed the same way. Therefore, those four are exterior angles.

David pays $335 in advance on his account at the gym. Each time he visits the gym , $6 is deducted from the account. Write an eq

Korolek [52]

Answer:

x = 335 - (6 * v)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the value remaining, we need to first multiply the daily cost of each visit by the number of visits made to the gym which is represented by the variable (v). Once we have this cost of all the days then we subtract this amount from the current account balance in order to get the new remaining balance which is represented by x.

x = 335 - (6 * v)
