- The Kelvin Temperature Scale Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. In order to determine the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Kelvin temperature scales, a lab assistant put Fahrenheit and Kelvin thermometers side by side and took readings at various temperatures. The following data were recorded. K = kelvins F = degrees Fahrenheit 200 -99.67 220 -63.67 240 -27.67 260 8.33 280 44.33 300 80.33 a. Show that the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature K in kelvins. b. What is the slope of this linear function? Note: Be sure to take into account that the table lists kelvins in jumps of 20 rather than in jumps of 1. c. Find a formula for the linear function. d. Normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is that temperature in kelvins? e. If temperature increases by 1 kelvin, by how many degrees Fahrenheit does it increase? If temperature increases by 1 degree Fahrenheit, by how many kelvins does it increase? f. The temperature of 0 kelvins is known as absolute zero. It is not quite accurate to say that all molecular motion ceases at absolute zero, but at that temperature the system has its minimum possible total energy. It is thought that absolute zero cannot be attained experimentally, although temperatures lower than 0.0000001 kelvin have been attained. Find the temperature of absolute zero in degrees Fahrenheit.arrow_forwardWork The work W required to lift an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the height h that the object is lifted.

Find the amount of work required to lift a 100-kilogram object 1.5 meters.arrow_forwardStock Turnover at Retail In retail sales, an important marker of retail activity is the stock turnover at retail. This figure is calculated for a specific period of time as the total net sales divided by the retail value of the average stock during that time, where both are measured in dollars. As a formula, this is written Stockturnover=NetsalesAveragestockatretail. This formula expresses stock turnover as a function of net sales and average stock at retail. a. Suppose that your store had net sales of 682, 000 in mens shoes over the past six months and that the retail value of the average stock of mens shoes was 163, 000. What was the stock turnover at retail for that time period? b. Suppose that in a certain month, your stores net sales of womens dresses were 83, 000 and that the usual stock turnover at retail is 0.8 per month. What do you estimate to be your stores average stock at retail? c. Solve the equation for average stock at retail- that is, write a formula giving average stock at retail as a function of stock turnover and net sales. d. Suppose that in a certain time period, your store had an average stock of socks with a retail value of 45, 000 and a stock turnover at retail of 1.6. What were the stores net sales of socks during that time period? e. Solve the equation for net sales- that is, write a formula giving net sales as a function of stock turnover and average stock at retail.arrow_forward
