In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.arrow_forwardGlobal warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice team but alga due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate me change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.arrow_forward
- Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher, (b) lower, or (c) no different than on a low-pressure day.arrow_forwardAt what flow rate might turbulence begin to develop in a water main with a 0.200-m diameter? Assume a 20° C temperature.arrow_forward. The highest point in North America is the top of Mount McKinley in A1aski. 20,320 ft above sea level.

- The density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) (This question is courtesy or Edward F. Redish.

The approach of a storm causes the height of a mercury barometer to drop by 20.0 mm from the normal height. What is the atmospheric pressure?arrow_forwardWhy does atmospheric pressure decrease more rapidly than linearly with altitude?arrow_forward
- Consider a river that spreads out in a delta region on its way to the sea. Construct a problem in which you calculate the average speed at which water moves in the delta region, based on the speed at which it was moving up river. Among the things to consider are the size and flow rate of the river before it spreads out and its size once it has spread out. You can construct the problem for the river spreading out into one large river or into multiple smaller rivers.arrow_forwardA container is filled to a depth of 20.0 cm with water.
