Textbook Question
Chapter 1.5, Problem 33E
Temperature and travelling When U.S citizens travel abroad, they need some understanding of Celsius temperature readings-does one need mittens if the temperature will be
C? A quick conversion formula often used by tour guides to give a rough Fahrenheit equivalent for a Celsius reading is
Tourist formula
The exact conversion formula relating these readings is
Scientific formula
At what temperature, Fahrenheit and Celsius, do these formulas agree?
As the Celsius temperature rises above the reading found in part (a), does the tourist formula overestimate or underestimate the actual Fahrenheit temperature? How can you tell this from the two given formulas?

- Speed of Sound in the North Atlantic The speed of sound in ocean water is 1148.94meterspersecond, provided that the ocean water has a salinity of 35 35partsperthousand, the temperature it 0degreesCelsius, and the measurement is taken at the surface. If any one of these three factors varies, the speed of sound also changes. Different oceans often differ in salinity. In the North Atlantic Central Water the main body of water for the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean, the salinity can be determined from the temperature, so the speed of sound depends only on temperature and depth. A simplified polynomial formula for velocity in this body of water is V=1447.733+4.7713T0.05435T2+0.0002374T3+0.0163D+1.675107D27.1391013TD3 Here V is the speed of sound in meters per second, T is the water temperature in degrees Celsius, and D is depth in meters. This formula is valid for depths up to 8000 meters and for temperatures between 0 and 30 degrees Celsius. a. What type of polynomial is V as a function of T alone? Of D alone? b. For a fixed depth of 1000meters, write the formula for V in terms of T alone. c. Graph V as a function of T for the fixed depth of 1000meters. d. What is the concavity of the graph from part c? What does this imply about the speed of sound at that depth as temperature increases?arrow_forwardHeart Disease In a certain country, the number of deaths due to heart disease decreased from 235 in one year to 221 in the next year.

It shows rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages since 1970. y=Year r=Mortgagerate 1975 9.05 1980 13.74 1985 12.43 1990 10.13 1995 7.93 2000 8.05 2005 5.87 2010 4.69 2015 3.84 a. Explain in practical terms the meaning of r(2003). b. Use the table to estimate the value of r(2003).arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardIon concentration the pH reading of a glass of liquid is given find the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid (a)Beer: pH=4.6 (b) Water: pH=7.3arrow_forward
