Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.
When paddling a canoe upstream, it is wisest to travel as near to the shore as possible. When canoeing downstream, it may be best to stay near the middle. Explain why.
Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second. (b) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per second. (c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1.00-m3 volume at the same rate. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3)
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice team but alga due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate me change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.

A cruise ship maintains a speed of 16 knots (nautical miles per hour) sailing from San Juan to Barbados, a distance of 600 nautical miles. To avoid a tropical storm, the captain heads out of San Juan at a direction of 24° off a direct heading to Barbados. The captain maintains the 16-knot speed for 8 hours, after which time the path to Barbados becomes clear of storms. (a) Through what angle should the captain turn to head directly to Barbados?

An airport has occasionally been closed to large planes because ofweather conditions that do not entail storms or low visibility. Instead, the conditions combine to create an unusually low air density. Explain why such an air density would make it difficult for a large, heavy plane to take off, especially if the runway were not exceptionally long.
A kiteboarder is using a kite to generate a force on a windy day. The area of the kite is A = 4 m2. The wind speed is v = 9 m/s. The density of air is ρ = 1.29 kg/m3. If the kite is designed such that the air is stationary on the inner surface, how much force can the kiteboarder expect the kite to generate?
A building is to be designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. The maximum wind velocity is v=89 ms. The surface area of the roof is A=450m . If the density of air is ρ=1.027kgm3 , how much force must the roof supports be able to withstand?
