Final answer:
To calculate the volume flow rate of water from a hose, one would convert the volume from liters to cubic meters and then divide by the time in seconds, yielding a flow rate of 0.0001778 m³/s for an 8-liter container filled in 45 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves determining the volume flow rate of water through a hose measured in cubic meters per second (m³/s) when the hose is used to fill an 8-liter container in 45 seconds. To find the volume flow rate, we convert the volume from liters to cubic meters (since 1 liter = 0.001 cubic meters) and then divide that volume by the time in seconds.
First, we convert 8 liters to cubic meters: 8 liters * 0.001 m³/liter = 0.008 m³. Next, we calculate the flow rate by dividing the volume by the time: 0.008 m³ / 45 s = 0.0001778 m³/s (rounded to six decimal places).
The volume flow rate of water from the hose is therefore 0.0001778 m³/s.
