- A car engine moves a piston with a circular cross section of 7.5000.002 cm diameter a distance of 3.2500.001 cm to compress the gas in the cylinder. (a) By what amount is the gas decreased in volume in cubic centimeters? (b) Find the uncertainty in this volume.arrow_forwardIn 1983, the United States began coining the one-cent piece out of copper-clad zinc rather than pure copper. The mass of the old copper penny is 3.083 g and that of the new cent is 2.517 g. The density of copper is 8.920 g/cm3 and that of zinc is 7.133 g/cm3. The new and old coins have the same volume. Calculate the percent of zinc (by volume) in the new cent.arrow_forward(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) Describe the four phases of matter. Compare their external, observable properties. Compare the nature of the forces between atoms or molecules (or both) in the solid, liquid, and gas phases.arrow_forward
- 1. In Section 4.1 in the description of matter, the following terms were introduced: elements, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, nucleus, molecules, mixtures, and solutions. Create a concept map explaining the composition of matter by appropriately organizing and linking these concepts to form meaningful propositions. After completing your concept map, compare your map with that of a classmate or the instructor. Are they same? Should they be? Discuss the similarities and differences that you find between the maps.arrow_forwardScientists and engineers must interpret problems from various sources. We can practice this skill anytime we read a newspaper or magazine or browse the Internet. Consider the Rocket Car urban legend that can be found on many Internet sites, in which the Arizona Highway Patrol allegedly found the vaporized wreckage of an automobile. The story goes that after some analysis and investigation, it was believed that a former Air Force Sergeant attached solid-fuel rockets to his 1967 Chevy Impala and ignited the rockets approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of approximately 275 mph. It continued at this speed for 20 to 25 seconds. The car remained on the highway for 2.6 miles before the driver applied the brakes. The brakes melted and the tires blew out, causing the vehicle to become airborne. It traveled through the air for 1.3 miles before it hit a cliff face 125 feet above the road. Of course, this story was debunked. It is physically implausible, but it can still provide an opportunity to practice analyzing a problem. a. C Draw a Sketch of the Situation. b. C For the constant-velocity part of the cars motion, identify initial and final positions, the velocity, and the time interval. c. N Calculate the displacement using the position data and then again using the velocity and time data. Are your results consistent? d. C If your results are not consistent, reread the legend and identify possible sources of the discrepancy.arrow_forwardSuppose your hair grows at the rate 1/32 in. per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Because the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly layers of atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.arrow_forward
