A plastic tube allows a flow of 14 cm3/s of water through it. How long will it take to fill a 240 cm3 bottle with water? Answer in units of s
240cm^3 / (14cm^3/s) = 17.1s
To find out how long it will take to fill a 240 cm3 bottle with water, we need to divide the volume of the bottle by the flow rate of the water.
The flow rate is given as 14 cm3/s. This means that 14 cm3 of water passes through the tube every second.
To calculate the time it takes to fill the bottle, we divide the volume of the bottle (240 cm3) by the flow rate (14 cm3/s):
Time = Volume / Flow rate
Time = 240 cm3 / 14 cm3/s
Time = 240 cm3 * (1 s / 14 cm3)
Time = 240 cm3 * (1 s / 14)
Time = 240 / 14 s
Time ≈ 17.14 s
Therefore, it will take approximately 17.14 seconds to fill a 240 cm3 bottle with water.
