Estimate how many molecules of air are in each 2.5-L breath you inhale that were also in the last breath Galileo took. [Hint: Assume the atmosphere is about 10 km high and of constant density.]
Express your answer using two significant figures.
N=?? (I got 27, but I was also wrong).
Problem 1.1. The Fahrenheit temperature scale is defined so that ice melts at
32°F and water boils at 212°F.
(a) Derive the formulas for converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back.
(b) What is absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale?
Problem 1.2. The Rankine temperature scale (abbreviated °R) uses the same
size degrees as Fahrenheit, but measured up from absolute zero like kelvin (so
Rankine is to Fahrenheit as kelvin is to Celsius). Find the conversion formula
between Rankine and Fahrenheit, and also between Rankine and kelvin. What is
room temperature on the Rankine scale?
