- Global 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_forwardAssume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second. (b) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per second. (c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1.00-m3 volume at the same rate. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3)arrow_forwardThe 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. For more questions of this type, see http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/.)arrow_forward

Which liquid forms the most stable bubbles, neglecting any effects of evaporation?arrow_forwardBirds such as ducks, geese, and swans have greater densities than water, yet they are able to sit on its surface. Explain this ability, noting that water does not wet their feathers and that they cannot sit on soapy water.arrow_forwardThe density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level.

- When a glass bottle full of vinegar warms up, both the vinegar and the glass expand, but vinegar expands significantly more with temperature than glass. The bottle will break if it was filled to its tightly capped lid. Explain why, and also explain how a pocket of air above the vinegar would prevent the break. (This is the function of the air above liquids in glass containers.)arrow_forwardEvangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that the pressure of our atmosphere is attributable to the weight of the air. The density of air at 0C at the Earths surface is 1.29 kg/m3. The density decreases with increasing altitude (as the atmosphere thins). On the other hand, if we assume the density is constant at 1.29 kg/m3 up to some altitude h and is zero above that altitude, then h would represent the depth of the ocean of air. (a) Use this model to determine the value of h that gives a pressure of 1.00 atm at the surface of the Earth. (b) Would the peak of Mount Everest rise above the surface of such an atmosphere?arrow_forwardWhen a person inhales, air moves down the bronchus (windpipe) at 15 cm/s. The average How speed of the air doubles through a constriction in the bronchus. Assuming incompressible flow, determine the pressure drop in the constriction.arrow_forward
- Doppler ultrasound can be used to the speed of blood in the body. If there is a partial constriction of an artery, where would you expect blood speed to be greatest, at or nearby the constriction? What are the two distinct causes of higher resistance in the constriction?arrow_forwardA large weather balloon whose mass is 226 kg is filled with helium gas until its volume is 325 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the buoyant force acting on the balloon. (b) Find the net force on the balloon and determine whether the balloon will rise or fall after it is released. (c) What additional mass can the balloon support in equilibrium?arrow_forwardWhen two soap bubbles touch, the larger is inflated by the smaller until they form a single bubble. (a) What is the gauge pressure inside a soap bubble with a 1.50-cm radius? (b) Inside a 4.00-cm-radius soap bubble? (c) Inside the single bubble they form if no air is lost when they touch?arrow_forward
