The average force of the water droplets is the force given by the impact

per second of the droplets on the limestone floor.

  • The average force exerted on the limestone floor is approximately <u>1.6013 × 10⁻² N</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Volume of a droplet = 10 ml = 1 × 10⁻⁵ m³

Height from which the water falls, <em>h </em>= 5 meters

Rate at which the water falls = 10 per minute

Required:

The average force exerted on the floor by the water droplets.

Solution:

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force = Rate of change of momentum

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

Mass of a droplet of water = Volume × Density

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Mass of a droplet = 1 × 10⁻⁵ m³ × 997 kg/m³ = 0.00997 kg

The velocity just before the droplet reaches the ground, v = √(2·g·h)

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Which gives;

v = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 5 m) ≈ 9.905 m/s

The rate of change in momentum per minute = 1

Therefore;

\displaystyle The \ rate \ of \ change \ in \ momentum = Average \ force = \mathbf{\frac{\Delta Momentum }{\Delta Time}}

ΔMomentum = Mass × ΔVelocity

Considering the 10 drops per minute, we have;

ΔMomentum = 10 × 0.0097 kg × 9.905 m/s = 0.960785 kg·m/s

ΔTime = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore;

\displaystyle Average \ force, \, F_{ave}  \frac{0.960785 \, kg\cdot m/s }{60 \, s} \approx =\mathbf{1.6013 \times 10^{-2} \, N}

  • The average force exerted on the limestone floor by the droplets of water is F_{ave} ≈ <u>1.6013 × 10⁻² N</u>

The answer is A) variable. The depression level is a value that varies with the respondents and may inform you about the relationship between depression and other variables, such as alcohol use or sleep habits. It is also likely a discrete variable, since the answer is probably an integer (1, 2, ... 10), rather than a continuous spectrum (virtually any number between 1 and 10).
