Chapter 11, Problem 10RQ
- 10. One of the 22 named, derived units in the metric system is the volt, which can be expressed as 1 joule per coulomb (V = J/C). A coulomb is the total electric charge on approximately 6.24 x 1018 electrons. The voltage on a capacitor is given by V = ∆Q/C + Vo volts, where ∆Q is the change in charge (coulombs] stored, Vo is the initial voltage on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance [farads].
- a. Create a proper plot of voltage (V, on the ordinate) and total charge (∆Q) for a 5-farad capacitor with an initial voltage of 5 volts for 0 <∆Q <20.
- b. Using the graph, determine the total energy stored in the capacitor for an addition of 15 coulombs.

A heat pump is an electrical device that heats a building by pumping heat in from the cold outside. In other words, it's the same as a refrigerator, but its purpose is to warm the hot reservoir rather than to cool the cold reservoir (even though it does both). Let us define the following standard symbols, all taken to be positive by convention:Th = temperature inside buildingTe = temperature outsideQh heat pumped into building in 1 day Qe = heat taken from outdoors in 1 dayW = electrical energy used by heat pump in 1 day
Explain why a heat pump is better than an electric furnace, which simply converts electrical work directly into heat. (Include some numerical estimates. )
The vapor pressure of Substance X is measured at several temperatures:
temperature vapor pressure

Specific Volume is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation under shear stress.
While a unit expresses a specific type of physical quantity, a dimension assigns a property of scale so that the unit can be measured.
Temperature at which water has the highest density is usually taken as 4°C(39.2°F).
The continuum concept in hydraulics assumes that a fluid often behaves as if itwere comprised of continuous matter that is infinitely divisible into smaller and smaller parts.

The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm.
