I am really confused about this assignment. Were we supposed to just answer the questions? Or do the simulated data chart? I really need practice on charting." "Basic Flow Experiment Questions

• Does the depth seem to be changing at a regular rate, at a faster and faster rate, or at a slower and slower rate?

o The depth appears to be changing at a fairly regular rate of flow through the cylinder.

• What do you think a graph of depth vs. time would look like?

o The graph would indicate the flow changes decreasing with time taking longer for the water level to change.

• Does the horizontal distance (the distance to the right, ignoring the up and down distance) traveled by the stream increase or decrease as time goes on?

o It decreases as time goes on.

• Does this distance change at an increasing, decreasing or steady rate?

o It changes at a decreasing rate.

• What do you think a graph of this horizontal distance vs. time would look like?

o The graph would slope decreasing and it would take longer for the water depth to change.

you were supposed to either set up a system and actually time it, or use simulated data as indicated on your Assignments page
