Chapter 15, Problem 5AC
A lightweight weather-collecting sensor is attached to a 2.50-L balloon. The balloon is released on a day when the temperature is 23.4 C and the atmospheric pressure is 1.35 × 105Pa. The balloon will collect data until it reaches the stratosphere. (a) The weather sensor measures a temperature of – 28.2ºC and an atmospheric pressure of 285 Pa. What is the volume of the balloon? (b) Given the change in the volume of the balloon as it reaches the stratosphere, should the balloon be fully inflated when released from the ground?

The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure
gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m³, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire
rises to 44°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature.

The gas in a constant-volume gas thermometer has a pressure of93.5 kPa at 105 °C. (a) What is the pressure of the gas at 47.5 °C?(b) At what temperature does the gas have a pressure of 105 kPa?
An automobile moving through the air causes the air velocity (measured with respect to the car) to decrease and fill a larger flow channel. An automobile has an effective flow channel area of 3 m2 . The car is traveling at 90 km/h on a day when the barometric pressure is 70 cm of mercury and the temperature is 20°C.
