In an article on tire maintenance, it is stated that tires lose air over time, and pressure losses as high as 90 kPa (13 psi) per year are measured. The article recommends checking tire pressure at least once a month to avoid low tire pressure that hurts fuel efficiency and causes uneven thread wear on tires. Taking the beginning tire pressure to be 220 kPa (gage) and the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa, determine the fraction of air that can be lost from a tire per year.

On an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is f=kr5/2where k is a constant. Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be? Write 1-2 sentences explaining how you found your answer.
A thermometer reading 10°C is brought into a room with a constant temperature of 33°C. If the thermometer reads 15°C after 3 minutes, what will it read after being in the room for 5 minutes? For 10 minutes? C After 5 minutes, the thermometer will read °C. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

True Story! The 1998-1999 Mars Climate Orbiter mission was declared a total loss in1999 as there was a unit conversion mismatch error between Lockheed Martin and NASA. Themismatch was in the thruster force units. NASA used the SI system which called forNewton-Seconds (4.45 times as large) of thrust and Lockheed Martin used Pound-Force Seconds.Calculations placed the Orbiter at 68 miles from the surface as it went into orbit, but it waswithin 57 km of the surface after the breaking maneuver. Any distance from the surface lessthan 50 miles would have caused the Orbiter to crash.a. What was the actual distance of the Orbiter from the surface in miles?b. In percentage, how far off from the calculated 68 miles was the Orbiter?
Thermodynamics - Dr. Suhaib Shbailat 1-101 Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as F, = Pains Voallonr will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 85 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. Assume the density of air is p = 1.16 kg/m², and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage. Answer: 22.4 m/s? Helium D= 12 m PHe =7 Pair Hello, please solve the quesțion without explanation with mentioning my name in ((morteza Ali Qasim))))paper and a beautiful font. Thank you doctor.

When a stationary mass of gas was compressed without friction at constant pressure its initial state of 0.8 m3 and 0.105 MPa was found to change to final state of 0.40 m3 and 0.105 MPa. There was a transfer of 85 kJ of heat from the gas during the process.How much did the internal energy of the gas change ? * 1 Add File
