Chapter 0, Problem 1RQ

Physics is a field of study that governs

  1. a. how the planets orbit the sun.
  2. b. the rate at which blood flows through a person’s veins.
  3. c. how quickly a helium balloon will rise into the air.
  4. d. all of the above.
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

The right option.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The correct option is “d. all of the above”.

Explanation of Solution

Physics is a field of study that governs the motion and energy of all physical objects throughout the universe. From the smallest particles including the subatomic particles to the largest particles including the stars and moons, physics studies about their motion, the energy associated, and the physical properties of the matter.

Therefore, Physics is a field of study that governs how the planets moving around the sun, the rate of blood flows through a person’s veins, and how a helium balloon will rise into the air. So, from the explanation it concludes that the terms given in all options are correct. Hence, the right option is d.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is “d. all of the above”.

a. The mean pressure of the surface of the Earth is 984 mbar, slightly less than the mean pressure at sea level, 1013 mbar. Use the barometric law (2.81) to calculate the mean altitude of the surface above sea level.b. Calculate the total mass of the atmosphere by considering that Force = Pressure * Area. The downward force of the atmosphere, by Newton’s Law, is the mass of the atmosphere times the acceleration of gravity. The mean pressure can be found above, and the area is the surface area of the earth. Use the average molecular weight of the atmosphere to calculate the number of moles of gas in the atmosphere.c. Use the number of moles of gas in the atmosphere and the mole fraction of N2O (Table 3.19) to calculate the number of moles and mass of N2O in the atmosphere.
