A place has an average air temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 0.998 atmosphere during the first quarter of the year. What is the direct distance of this place from Baguio if the city is elevated at an angle of 45 degree with respect to this place? It may be assumed that the pressure in Baguio is 0.834 atm. The temperature of the atmosphere drops approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius for every 1000 feet of vertical elevation. What is the average temperature in Baguio during the first quarter of the year (in degrees Celsius)? Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas.
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.
A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00°C, its volume is 0.90 cm3. What is the bubble's volume (in cm3) just before it hits the ocean surface, where the temperature is 20.0°C? Assume the average density of sea water is 1,025 kg/m3. Hint: Use Pascal's Principle (textbook Eq. 14.4) to determine the pressure at the depth of 20.0 m below the surface.
