Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 2RQ
You have N temperature values [°C] stored in the
You have N pressure values [atm] stored in the vector Press.
You have a scalar variable n containing an amount of substance [mol].
If these values represent parameters measured for gases in N reaction vessels, determine the volume of each reaction vessel in cubic centimeters. Place the results in the variable Vol. In the solution, you should set up a scalar variable R to hold an appropriate value for the ideal gas constant, then use that variable in any equations where it is needed. If you need any conversion factors, these should also be placed in variables for use in the equations.

On an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is
f=kr5/2where k is a constant.
Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be?
Write 1-2 sentences explaining how you found your answer.
A mercury thermometer, which has been on a table for some time, is registering the room
temperature, 50°F. Suddenly, it is placed in a 395°F oil bath. The following data are obtained
for the response of the thermometer. If after 10 seconds the thermometer reading is 176 F, determine the thermometer time constant.

Question : A 550 kilogram mass initially at rest acted upon by a force of F(t) = 50et Newtons. What are the acceleration, speed, and displacement of the mass at t = 4 second ?
a =(50 e^t)/(550 ) [N/kg]
v = ∫_0^t▒(50 e^t )dt/(550 )= v_0 +(50 e^t-50)/550=((e^t- 1))/11
x = ∫_0^t▒(e^t- 1)dt/(11 )= x_0 +(e^t- t - 1)/(11 )
a(4s)=(50*54.6)/550= 4.96[m/s^2 ]
v(4s)=((e^4-1))/11= 4.87[m/s]
x(4s)=((e^4- 4 - 1))/11= 4.51 [m]

- In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardNewton’s 2nd Law Lab (Modeling friendly lab) Go to the PhET simulation Forces & Motion. https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forcesandmotionbasics/latest/forcesandmotionbasics_en.html Select “Acceleration” Click to show Forces, Sum of Forces, Values, Mass, and Acceleration.

A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?arrow_forwardThe Ideal gas law shows the relationship between some common properties of ideal gases and is written as PV = nRT.
