Part 1
When completely empty, a
1.5
gallon [gal] tank weighs 118 newtons [N] on the Earth. Now on Mars, the tank is filled with oxygen
(O2)
with a molecular weight of 32 grams per mole [g/mol]. Inside the oxygen tank, the pressure is 5800 kilopascals [kPa], and the temperature is
−196
(negative 196) degrees Celsius
[°C].
What is the total weight of the tank now that it is full of oxygen in Mars gravity in units of pound-force
[lbf].
The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.71 meters per second squared
[m/s2].

The bullet eventually comes to rest in a bucket containing 2.9 kg of olive oil that is at ground level. As a result of bringing the bullet to a stop (any change in PE while in the olive oil is negligible), how much does the temperature of the olive oil increase (express the answer in K)? Also determine how fast the bullet is going at impact. Ignore air drag and assume that all of the thermal energy generated goes into heating the olive oil. Impact speed = AT= Part 2: Nail A 0.52 kg hammer strikes a 28 g copper nail into wood board. The nail is horizontally aligned and at the moment of impact with the nail, the hammer had a speed of 8.9 m/s.
