A small bubble rises from the bottom of a lake, where the temperature and pressure are 8°C and 6.4 atm to the water’s surface where the temperature is 25°C and the pressure is 1.0 atm. Calculate the final volume (in m3) of the bubble if its initial volume was 2.1 cm3.
Janice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner. The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. The change in elasticity of the steak on cooking is due partly to the loss of water volume (so that existing bonds get closer together) and partly to the creation of new bonds. Assume all of the difference in raw vs. cooked steak thickness is due to water loss that makes it thinner (25 mm thick in the uncooked steak, versus 15 mm thick in the cooked steak), and that the other dimensions of the steak (length and width) have not changed. By what percentage has the steak's volume decreased from the original value?…
When working on a PHYS 1510 weekly assignment, a student decided to get a medium double double coffee from Tim Hortons (a coffee made with two creams and two sugars). After drinking it, the student looked up the nutritional value of the drink, and was shocked to find it was listed as 230.0 kcal (230.0 nutritional calories). After drinking the coffee, they weighed 87.88 kg. To work off all the calories, the student decides to climb the stairs in their building. How many floors do they need to climb to burn off the entire drink? (do not include units) Assume all floors are 3.00 m apart from each other. Assume all nutritional energy is fully converted to potential energy. 1 kcal = 4184 J

Consider a pressure versus volume graph, where the different curves represent different processes done on a gas. Starting at the origin to point 1, the pressure and volume are increased to 2913 Pa and 4.25 m³, respectively. From 1 to 2, the gas expands at constant pressure to a volume of 7.25 m³. From 2 to 3, the pressure rises to 4082 Pa. Finally, from 3 to 4, the gas expands again to 10.85 m³. Rank the curves from the most positive to the most negative amount of work done on the gas. Pressure (Pa) 0 1 3 2 Volume (m³) What is the total work done on the gas? 4 Wo-4 = Most positive work Incorrect 29624.325 23 0 → 1 1 → 2 3→ 4 Most negative work Answer Bank
