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.

Assume the space between balls adds an extra 25.0% to their volume and assume they are not crushed by their own weight. The radius of Earth is 6.376 × 106 m.
Calculate the depth (in km) to which Avogadro's number of table tennis balls would cover the Sun. Each ball has a diameter of 3.75 cm. Assume the space between balls adds an extra 39.6% to their volume and assume they are not crushed by their own weight. km
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV4 =C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 600 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 79 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 14 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant? cm min (Pa stands for Pascal -- it is equivalent to one Newton/(meter squared); kPa is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals.

A hollow spherical container has an outer diameter of 10.50 cm. The thickness of the walls is 0.50 cm. The container is filled with water. Water molecules are approximated to be spheres with a diameter of 275 pm. How many water molecules are present inside of the container? Your answer needs to have the correct number of significant figures.
Boston molasses disaster. On January 15, 1919, a vat of molas- ses in Boston's North End burst. A wave of molasses with height 10 m sped through the streets at 16 m/s (about 35 mi/h), killing 21 people and resulting in great property damage . The vat was 15 m high, 27 m in diameter, and held 2.3 x 10° U.S. gal of molasses. In the vat's hasty construction, its soundness had been tested only with water 0.150 m deep. What was the pressure on its wall at the base (a) during the test and (b) when filled with molas- ses with density 1.42 x 10³ kg/m³?
How Many Atoms Are You? Estimate the number of atoms in the body of a 50 kg physics student. Note that the human body is mostly water, which has molar mass 18.0 g/mol, and that each water molecule contains three atoms.
A rigid tank contains water vapor at 250°C and an unknown pressure. When the tank is cooled to 124°C, the vapor starts condensing. Estimate the initial pressure in the tank.
Let us consider a bacterial cell that depends on chemical reactions using oxygen to produce energy. The cell needs to obtain molecular oxygen from the extra-cellular medium by diffusion through the cell membrane. We model the cell as a water-filled sphere of radius 1 µm. This means that we neglect the presence of the internal structures of the cell: nucleus, nutrients, etc. The oxygen diffusion coefficient (O2) in water at 25°C is 1.0x10-5 cm².s'. Figure 1: Transmission electron microscope Reminder: The distance travelled by diffusion can be picture of a bacterium. [from Wikipedia: written as L(t) = V6Dt, where D is the diffusion coefficient and t the diffusion time. "Transmission Electron Microscopy"| 2. Diffusion as a function of time People have measured the distance travelled by the oxygen molecule in water as a function of time. The results are given in the table below. 0.1 t(s) L (x10-“m) log1o(t) log10(L) 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.05 2.45 5.4 7.7 17.3 25.5 Draw the plot of L as a…
