Review, (a) H it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can escape the Earths gravitation in the sense that it can continue to move away from the Earth forever as discussed in Section 13.6. Using the principle of conservation of energy, show that the minimum kinetic energy needed for escape is m0gRE where m0 is the mass of the molecule, g is the free-fall acceleration at the surface, and RE is the radius of the Earth, (b) Calculate the temperature for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is ten times the average kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule.

A 2.50-kg steel gasoline can holds 20.0 L of gasoline when full. What is the average density of the full gas can, taking into account the volume occupied by steel as well as by gasoline?
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
When the U.S. submarineSqualus became disabled at a depth of 80 m, a cylindrical chamberwas lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamberhad a radius of 1.00 m and a height of 4.00 m, was open at thebottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that adiver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamberreached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escapeinto the chamber. During the descent, air was released fromtanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume thatthe interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth has given by p0 +rgh, where p0=1.000 atm is the surface pressureand r=1024 kg/m3 is the density of seawater. Assume a surfacetemperature of 20.0C and a submerged water temperatureof -30.0C. (a)What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface?(b) If air had not been released from the tanks, what wouldhave been the air volume in the chamber at depth h=80.0 m?(c) How many moles of air were needed to be released to…
For a normal car riding on tires with relatively flexible sidewalls, the weight of the car is held up, in large measure, by the pressure of the air in the tires. If you look at one of your car’s tires, you’ll note that the tire is flattened slightly to make a rectangle where it touches the ground. The area of the resulting “contact patch” depends on the pressure in the tires. To a good approximation, the upward normal force of the ground (which we can assume is equal to ¼ of the car’s weight) on this patch of the tire is equal to the downward pressure force on the patch.a. Suppose you inflate your 2000 kg car’s tires to the recommended pressure, as measured by a gauge. The resulting contact patch is 18 cm wide and 12 cm long. What does the gauge read?b. If you let a bit of air out of your tire, what happens to the area of the contact patch?

The density of water at 0°C is very nearly 1000 kg/m3 (it is actually 999.84 kg/m3), whereas the density of ice at 0°C is 917 kg/m3. The bulk modulus of ice is 2.20 × 109 Pa. a. Calculate the pressure, in pascals, necessary to keep freezing water from expanding, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing point. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.)
