In 1983, a pilot miscalculated the fuel requirement for Air Canada Fight 143 from Montreal to Edmonton. Halfway through the flig

ht, the plane ran out of fuel because of an English-metric conversion error. Suppose that based on the distance and conditions, the flight would require at least 2.2 x 104 kg of fuel. The plane started off having 5, 756 liters in the tank when the pilot arrived. If there are 803 g of jet fuel in 1 liter, determine how much fuel (in liters) would be needed for a successful trip.

Answer:

27,397.23 L would be needed for a successful trip.

Explanation:

The problem gives us <u>the density (ρ) of the fuel,</u> by telling us that there are 803 g of fuel in 1 L, in which case:

ρ=\frac{mass}{Volume}=\frac{803g}{1L}  =803\frac{g}{L}

The required mass of fuel is 2.2 * 10⁴ kg, we can convert this value into g:

2.2 * 10⁴ kg * \frac{1000g}{1kg} = 2.2 * 10⁷ g

We calculate the required volume (V), using the mass and density:

803 g/L = \frac{2.2*10^{7}g }{V} \\V=\frac{2.2*10^{7}g }{803g/L}\\ V=27397.26 L

Thus 27,397.23 L would be needed for a successful trip.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: Temperature is an example of a quantitative variable

Explanation:

A quantitative variable is defined as :

  • A variable that can assume a numerical value .
  • It can be ordered with respect to either magnitude or dimensions.
  • It is further classified into two types : interval scale and ratio scale.

Temperature comes under interval scale , because interval scale has no zero point.

For example : A 0° C Celsius does not interpret that there is no temperature.

Therefore , Temperature is an example of a quantitative variable.

Hence, the correct answer is "quantitative variable"

Once the torch is lit why must the acetylene flow be increased until the flame stops smoking
mojhsa [17]
Once the torch is lit, the acetylene flow must be increased until the flame stops smoking <span>before the oxygen is turned on for adjustment in order to keep the tip of the torch cool.

You should also note that while lighting the torch, you should keep the spark lighter near the tip but not covering it.</span>
