Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping"
when converting quantities or performing calculations.
• When converting quantities from one unit to another,
conversion factors are used.
Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units:
If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how
much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km?
• Let's also assume that my car gets
an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.

- The lowest temperature recorded in a particular city during the past year was −10.73−10.73 ∘∘C. What was the temperature on the kelvin scale?arrow_forwardAfter sitting on a shelf for a while, a can of soda at a room temperature (69°F) is placed inside a refrigerator and slowly cools. The temperature of the refrigerator is 37°F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the can of soda will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the can of soda and the temperature of the refrigerator, as given by the formula below: T = Ta + (To – Ta)e¬kt the temperature surrounding the object To = the initial temperature of the object t = the time in minutes the temperature of the object after t minutes k = decay constant T The can of soda reaches the temperature of 54°F after 40 minutes. Using this information, find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the can of soda, to the nearest degree, after 95 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.arrow_forwardYou are traveling to the Netherlands for the month of June and you are trying to determine what clothes to pack.

- A researcher would like to determine whether there is any relationship between students’ grades and where they choose to sit in the classroom. Specifically, the researcher suspects that the better students choose to sit in the front of the room. To test this hypothesis, the researcher asks her colleagues to help identify a sample of n = 100 students who all sit in the front row in at least one class. At the end of the semester, the grades are obtained for these students and the average grade point average is M = 3.25. For the same semester, the average grade point average for the entire college is μ = 2.95 with σ = 1.10. Use a two-tailed test with α = .01 to determine whether students who sit in the front of the classroom have significantly different grade point averages than other students.NOTICE that you are asked to use α = .01!

- A student gently drops an object weighing 16.5 g into an open vessel that is full of ethanol, so that a volume of ethanol spills out equal to the volume of the object. The experimenter now finds that the vessel and its contents weigh 10.5 g more than the vessel full of ethanol only. The density of ethanol is 0.789 g / cm^3. What is the density of the object?arrow_forwardDennis obtained a clean, dry stoppered flask. He determined the mass of the flask and stopper to be 32.634 g.He then filled the flask with water and determined the mass of the full stoppered flask to be 59.479 g.
