Question

I did an experiment where I had to measure how fast water flowed out of a container at different times and with different volumes (from 0mL-1000mL in increments of 50). I also had to record the values into a table and graph them. (I got an exponential function).

I got a slope of 0 for the initial instantaneous rate of flow at t=0. How would I answer the following questions?

1. Investigate whether or not the rate of flow will meet the required specifications:

a) when the container is half full.
b) when the container is a quarter full

Answer 1

what specifications? what were the measurements?

Answer 2

The only info I have is when the container is half full which is 500mL in 32.7 seconds and quarter full is 250mL in 23.8 seconds.
