Chemistry is an experimental science in which a consistent system of measurements is used. Scientists throughout the world use t

he International System of Units (Système International or SI), which is based on the metric system. However, the metric system in not used on an everyday basis in the United States. It is often necessary to convert between the English system, which is used in the United States, and the SI system. One problem with the SI system is the size of the units sometimes turns out to be inconveniently large or small. Therefore it is often necessary to make conversions within the SI system. For this reason, SI units are modified through the use of prefixes when they refer to either larger or smaller quantities.
Part A

In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car's gas mileage is 22.0mi/gal , how many liters of gasoline would you need to buy to complete a 142-km trip in Europe? Use the following conversions:1km=0.6214mi and 1gal=3.78L.

Part B

While in Europe, if you drive 115km per day, how much money would you spend on gas in one week if gas costs 1.10 euros per liter and your car's gas mileage is 30.0mi/gal ? Assume that 1euro=1.26dollars.

Part C

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.9s . What is the average speed of the sprinter in kilometers per hour?

Part D

A specific brand of gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece. How many kilograms of dietary fat are in a box containing 4.00lb of candy?

Answer:

(a) 142 km trip requires 15.16 Liters of Gasoline

(b) The money spent is 69.34 euros or $87.37.

(c) The average speed of sprinter is 34.45 km/h.

(d) 4 lb of candy contains 0.559 kg of dietary fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given that;

Mileage = 22 mi/gal

Converting it to km/L

Mileage = (22 mi/gal)(1 gal/3.78 L)(1 km/0.6214 mi)

Mileage = 9.36 km/L

Now, the gasoline required for 142 km trip:

Gasoline Required = (Length of trip)/(Mileage)

Gasoline Required = (142 km)/(9.36 km/L)

<u>Gasoline Required = 15.16 L</u>

(b)

Given that;

Mileage = 30 mi/gal

Converting it to km/L

Mileage = (30 mi/gal)(1 gal/3.78 L)(1 km/0.6214 mi)

Mileage = 12.77 km/L

Now, the gasoline required for 142 km trip:

Gasoline Required = (Length of trip)/(Mileage)

Gasoline Required = (115 km/day)(7 days/week)/(12.77 km/L)

Gasoline Required = 63 L/week

Now, we find the cost:

Weekly Cost = (Gasoline Required)(Unit Cost)

Weekly Cost = (63 L/week)(1.1 euros/L)

<u>Weekly Cost = 69.34 euros/week = $87.37</u>

since, 1 euro = $1.26

(c)

Average Speed = (Distance Travelled)/(Time Taken)

Average Speed = 200 m/20.9 s

Average Speed = (9.57 m/s)(3600 s/1 h)(1  km/ 1000 m)

<u>Average Speed = 34.45 km/h</u>

(d)

22.7 g piece contains = 7 g dietary fat

(22.7 g)(1 lb/453.592 g) piece contains = (7 g)(1 kg/1000 g) dietary fat

0.05 lb piece contains = 0.007 kg dietary fat

1 lb piece contains = (0.007/0.05) kg dietary fat

4 lb piece contains = 4(0.007/0.05) kg dietary fat

<u>4 lb piece contains = 0.559 kg dietary fat</u>

The height of the object after 1 sec is 284 feet

<h3>Equation of height of an object</h3>

Given the equation of height of an object expressed as:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 300t

We are to find the height of the object after 1 sec. To do that, we will substitute t = 1 into the following expression

h(t) = -16t^2 + 300t

h(1) = -16(1)^2 + 300(1)

h(1) = -16 + 300

h(1) = 284ft

Hence the height of the object after 1 sec is 284 feet

A botanist collected one leaf at random from each of 10 randomly selected mature maple trees of the same species. The mean and t
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

One sample t-test for population mean would be the most appropriate method.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following is the data which botanist collected and can use:

  • Sample mean
  • Sample Standard Deviation
  • Sample size (Which is 10)
  • Distribution is normal

We have to find the best approach to construct the confidence interval for one-sample population mean. Two tests are used for constructing the confidence interval for one-sample population mean. These are:

  • One-sample z test for population mean
  • One-sample t test for population mean

One sample z test is used when the distribution is normal and the population standard deviation is known to us. One sample t test is used when the distribution is normal, population standard deviation is unknown and sample standard deviation is known.

Considering the data botanist collected, One-sample t test would be the most appropriate method as we have all the required data for this test. Using any other test will result in flawed intervals and hence flawed conclusions.

Therefore, One-sample t-test for population mean would be the most appropriate method.

A rectangle box with a square base and no top needs to be made using 300ft^2 of material. Find the dimensions of the box with th
Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

  • A square base and no top
  • It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
  • It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)

∴ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}

∵ \frac{dV}{dx}=0 ⇒ greatest volume

∴ 75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ -\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75

- Divide both sides by -\frac{3}{4}

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}

∵ x = 10

∴ V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}

∴ V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³
