Textbook Question

Chapter 16, Problem 6RAT

Fish don't live very long in water that has just been boiled and brought back to room temperature. Why?

(a) There is now a higher concentration of dissolved CO₂ in the water.
(b) The nutrients in the water have been destroyed.
(c) Since some of the water evaporated while boiling, the salts in the water are now more concentrated. This has a negative effect on the fish.
(d) The boiling process removes the air that was dissolved in the water. Upon cooling, the water does not have its usual air content—hence, the fish drown.

Students have asked these similar questions

Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.

2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).
