How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.

The inside volume of a house is equivalent to that of a rectangular solid 13.0 m wide by 200 m long by 2.75 m high. The house is heated by a forced air gas heater. The main uptake air duct of heater is 0.300 m in diameter. What is the average speed of the duct if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 minutes?
One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?
One cm3 of gold is 19.32 g. What is the density (ratio of mass to volume) of gold inkg per m3 ? I know the answer is 19.32x10^3 but can someone tell me the steps to get there?
Variation of Pressure in the atmosphere. The pressure of the atmosphere decreases as we move higher in the atmosphere. The decrease in pressure is proportional to the decrease in density of air. р = 2|2° P P Where P = pressure at any point in the atmosphere, and p = density of air at any point in the atmosphere Po pressure at sea level = 1.013 x 105 Pa, and Po air density at sea level = 1.3 kg/m³. a) What is the density p in terms of po, P, and Po? b) Start from the formula dP = - p g dy to determine the pressure at any height y. Note: P is variable c) What is the pressure if the height is 5.0 km above sea level? d) At what height above sea level is the pressure equal to ½ Po ?
Suppose 1.0 m³ of oil is spilled into the ocean. Find the area of the resulting slick, assuming that it is one molecule thick and that each molecule occupies a cube 0.50 µm on a side.
Paperweight I bought a pack of 100 rectangular index cards. Each card measured 15 by 10 cm. The pack said ：Paper Density = 200 GSM (grams per square meter). This means that a square meter of those cards weighs 200 g. A) All of the cards in the pack are place flat on a table without overlap. In square meters, what is the total area of the table covered by the cards? B) Each pack of cards is wrapped in a sheet of 50 GSM paper with an area of 800cm squared. I have a number of packs and wish to store them on a shelf that cannot hold more than 10 kg. What is the largest whole number of wrapped packs that can be stored? C) The total weight of 500 identical sheets of paper is 2.4kg. If each sheet measures 30cm by 20cm, what is its paper density in GSM? D) A business card measures 55mm by 90mm. Its paper density is 300 GSM. Fins its exact weight in grams.
Physics An average family of four uses roughly 1200 L (about 300 gallons) of water per day ( 1 L = 1000 cm³). How much depth would a lake lose per year if it uniformly covered an area of 20 km² and supplied a local town with a population of 50000 people? Consider only population uses, and neglect evaporation and so on. Express your answer using one significant figure. d= 195| ΑΣΦ ? cm/y

The density of the earth's atmosphere follows an exponential function, D(h) = 1.3 e-h/7640 where h is the distance above the earth's surface in meters and D is the density in kg/m. What mass of air sits above a Im? area on the surface? (You can ignore the curvature of the earth's surface: that will contribute very little extra efect.)
