Your window thermometer shows that the temperature outdoors is 88.5 °F. How should you report this temperature to your friend in Israel (i.e., on the Celsius scale) and to your SI-enthusiastic physicist neighbor (i.e., on the Kelvin scale)? temperature in degrees Celsius: °C temperature in kelvins: K

You buy an "airtight" bag of potato chips packaged at sea level, and take the chips on an airplane flight. When you take the potato chips out of your "carry-on" bag, you notice it has noticeably "puffed up." Airplane cabins are typically pressurized at 0.90 atm, and assuming the temperature inside an airplane is about the same as inside a potato chip processing plant, by what percentage has the bag "puffed up" in comparison to when it was packaged? Express your answer using two significant figures. (V2−V1)/V1= ?
