If water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base, the water will flow fast when the tank is full and slow down as it continues to drain. As it turns out, the rate at which the water level drops is:
wherek is a constant depending on the shape of the hole and the cross-sectional area of the tank and drain hole. The depth of the water y is measured in meters and the time t in minutes. If

- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardFind the intensities of earthquakes whose magnitudes are (a) R=6.0 and (b) R=7.9.arrow_forward
