Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5RQ
You have a 2 × N matrix named GasData.
The first row of GasData contains N temperature values [°C].
The second row contains N pressure values [atm].
You also 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. Create a third row of GasData to store the results. 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.

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]
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.
Seawater can be purified by distillation into potable water. If it costs 15 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, what is the cost of energy to produce 100.0 gallons of drinking water at 100.0 ˚C if the seawater starts at 25.00 ˚C? (1 watt × 1 second = 1 joule). Enter your answer to the nearest penny.

- 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.
