5, If a persons average heartrate is 70 beats per minute, how many times does the heart beat per lifetime? Assume a person lives to be 75 years old.
Express the kinetic energy 1/2(mass)(speed) of a car with a mass of 1200 kg and moving at a speed of 100 km/h using SI, BG, and U.S. Customary units. Show the conversion steps.
Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.
