Explanation Given: Consider the tan regions in Figure 5.17 , such as the region including northern Texas and eastern Colorado. What can you say about temperatures within those tan regions? a. They were 40 ∘ F. b. They were higher than 40 ∘ F but lower than 50 ∘ F. c. They could have been anything above 40 ∘ F. The figure 5.17 shows a contour map of temperature over the United States at a particular time. Each of the contours connects locations with the same temperature. From the contour map, the tan regions such as the region including northern Texas and eastern Colorado have a temperature which could have been anything above 40 ∘ F...

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Question 1: If a barometer were built using oil (p = 0.92 g/cm³) instead of mercury (p = 13.6 g/cm³), would the column of oil be higher than, lower than, or the same as the column of mercury at 1.00 atm? If the level is different, by what factor? Explain. (5 pts) Solution: A barometer works based on the principle that the pressure exerted by the liquid column balances atmospheric pressure. The pressure is given by: P = pgh Since the atmospheric pressure remains constant (P = 1.00 atm), the height of the liquid column is inversely proportional to its density: Step 1: Given Data PHg hol=hgx Poil • Density of mercury: PHg = 13.6 g/cm³ Density of oil: Poil = 0.92 g/cm³ • Standard height of mercury at 1.00 atm: hμg Step 2: Compute Height of Oil = 760 mm = 0.760 m 13.6 hoil = 0.760 x 0.92 hoil = 0.760 × 14.78 hoil = 11.23 m Step 3: Compare Heights Since oil is less dense than mercury, the column of oil must be much taller than that of mercury. The factor by which it is taller is: Final…
