Chapter 11, Problem 3RQ
- 3. An engineer is conducting tests of two prototype toothbrush sanitizers that use ultraviolet radiation to kill pathogenic organisms while the toothbrush is stored. The engineer is trying to determine the minimum power needed to reliably kill pathogens on toothbrushes. Several toothbrushes are treated with a mix of bacteria, fungi, and viruses typically found in the human mouth, and then each is placed in one of the sanitizers for six hours at a specific power level (P). After six hours in the sanitizers, the viable pathogens remaining (R) on each toothbrush are assayed. Create a proper plot of the following experimental data set.
| Power (P) [W] | 15 | 28 | 35 | 50 | |
| Pathogens remaining (R) [%] | Sanitizer A | 51 | 40 | 29 | 7 |
| Sanitizer B | 59 | 42 | 22 | 8 | |

- A submarine is 285 m horizontally from the shore of a freshwater lake and 111 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 201 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level. Find the angle of incidence of the beam striking the water-air interface.arrow_forwardA busy jobContext For a summer job, you work in a warehouse where big boxes are moved.

The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface.

As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D (−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?arrow_forward

Assume that at the maximum heating level, the heater uses 50 kW of electricity. The water use rate is a continuous 4 gallons per minute with the new water saving showerhead you recently installed. Your very old showerhead had used 7 gallons per minute. You replaced the showerhead because you learned that heating water was the second highest energy use in your home. By slowing the flow of water through the heater, the water temperature should increase to a higher temperature. (a) What is the change in temperature (T) for the old showerhead? (b) What is the change in temperature (T) for the new showerhead? Assume the system is at steady sate, and all of the 50 kW energy used is heating the water.arrow_forward
