- Temperature An object at a temperature of 80C is placed in a room at 20C . The temperature of the object is given by T=20+60e0.06m where m represents the number of minutes after the object is placed in the room. How long does it take the object to reach a temperature of 70C ?arrow_forwardPower Consumption: The figure shows the power consumption in San Francisco for a day in September (P is measured in megawatts; t is hours stating at midnight). (a) What was the power consumption at 6:00 A.M? At 6:00 P.m.? (b) When was the power consumption the lowest? (c) Find the net change in the power consumption from 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M/arrow_forwardpH of calcium hydroxide Find the hydrogen ion concentration of a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide whose pH is 13.2arrow_forward
- Running Speed A man is running around a circular track that is 200 m in circumference. An observer uses a stopwatch to record the runner’s time at the each of each lap, obtaining the data in the following table. (a) What was the man’s average speed (rate) between 68 s and 152 s? (b) What was the man’s average speed between 263 s and 412 s? (c) Calculate the man’s speed for cadi lap, Is he slowing down, speeding up, or neither?arrow_forwardpH The hydrogen ion concentration of fresh egg whites was measured as [H+]=1.3x108M Find the pH, and classify the substance as acidic or basic.arrow_forwardStock Turnover at Retail In retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is written Stockturnover=NetsalesAveragestockatretail. This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. a. Suppose that your store had net sales of 682, 000 in mens shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of mens shoes was 163, 000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? b. Suppose that in a certain month, your stores net sales of womens dresses were 83, 000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.8 per month. What do you estimate to be your stores average stock at retail? c. Solve the equation for average stock at retail- that is, write a formula giving average stock at retail as a function of stock turnover and net sales. d. Suppose that in a certain time period, your store had an average stock of socks with a retail value of 45, 000 and a stock turnover at retail of 1.6. What were the stores net sales of socks during that time period? e. Solve the equation for net sales- that is, write a formula giving net sales as a function of stock turnover and average stock at retail.arrow_forward
