Thinking logically
Think about the question below. Only one of the answers listed is correct. We'll do some (but probably not all) of these questions in the lectures when you will all be asked to vote on which answer you think is correct. (Soon afterwards, you'll be able to see your responses, and those of the whole class at EVAF.)
I pour 1 l of water into an empty vessel at a constant rate.
I then repeat the experiment, pouring at the same rate, but with half the liquid starting off in the vessel before I start pouring.
Which one of the following graphs represents a plausible schematic of the height of the water (y-axis) as a function of time (x-axis) for my two experiments, A and B?
