Question

Water is poured into a container that has a small leak. The mass m of the water is given as a function of time t by m=5.00 t 0.8

−3.00t+20.00, with t≥0,m in grams, and t in seconds.
At what time is the water mass greatest.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

when gravity pulls the water molecules downwards, they will fall. But if they're in a container, the container will keep them from spreading out completely. This is what's called 'taking the shape of the container'
