Some picnickers stop at a convenience store to buy food, including bags of potato chips. They then drive up into the mountains to their picnic site. When theyunload the food, they notice that the bags of chips arepuffed up like balloons. Why did this happen?
P3. After a particularly cold night, Alice leaves a tub of water outside. You may consider
the ground and air to have temperatures of T. = -10°C and T = 10°C respectively. How
thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been
left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness
họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature
throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one-
dimensional. Density of ice and water are Pice = 920 kg/m³ and Pw = 1000 kg/m³. Ice and
water have thermal conductivities of kice = 2.22 WK-1m-1 and kiw = 0.556 W K-1m-1.

The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.550 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?

- How does temperature affect the time measured by a pendulum clock? More precisely, consider a clock that uses a simple pendulum. The pendulum consists of a thin metal rod of length l. Recall that the angular frequency of a simple pendulum is w = g/l. Suppose on a hot day, the temperature is considerably above “average." How does the increased temperature affect the clock? a) The clock runs slow. So it reports a time behind actual time. b) The clock runs fast. So it reports a time ahead of actual time. c) The clock is not affected by the temperature. d) The answer depends on the mass of the simple pendulum.arrow_forwardA 17 cm radius air duct is used to replenish the air of a room 8.8m•5.0m•3.8m every 15 mins.

Chipsealing is a common and relatively inexpensive way to pave a road. A layer of hot tar is sprayed onto the existing road surface and then stone chips are spread over the surface. A heavy roller then embeds the chips in the tar. Once the tar cools, most of the stones are trapped. However, some loose stones are scattered over the surface. They eventually will be swept up by a street cleaner, but if cars drive over the road before then, the rear tires on a leading car can launch stones backward toward a trailing car (see the figure below). Assume that the stones are launched at speed vo= 11.2 m/s (25 mi/h), matching the speed of the cars. Also assume that stones can leave the tires of the lead car at road level and at any angle and not be stopped by mud flaps or the underside of the car. In terms of car lengths Lc=4.50 m, what is the least separation L between the cars such that stones will not hit the trailing car?

Composite materials are low in density and tolerant to damage. One drawback of this new material is that it is not conductive. This increases the chance that a lightning strike will damage the plane. Engineers have redesigned the composites by adding a material to the original composition that is conductive. Identify one anticipated effect of this new material.
