Answer:

In many areas of the United States, the demand for freshwater is likely to increase while supplies decrease due, in part, to a changing climate. ... As warmer temperatures increase the demand for water, the amount of freshwater available may decline and increase competition for water resources in some areas.

A certain type of material allows electricity to flow through it, but it does not flow quickly or easily through it. Is the mate

Deffense [45]

A substance through which an electrical current flows poorly would be said to be a poor conductor. That is, the substance has a low conductance (or conductivity). There’s a nuance between the two terms, but it shouldn’t matter for our purposes.

Since such a material resists the flow of electric charge, the material can be said to have a high resistance (or high resistivity).

Mathematically, resistance and conductance are reciprocals of one another; a low conductance implies a high resistance, and a high conductance implies a low resistance.

An air tight freezer measures 4 mx 5 m x 2.5 m high. With the door open, it fills with 22 °C air at 1 atm pressure.

____ [38]

Answer:

(a) Density of the air = 1.204 kg/m3

(b) Pressure = 93772 Pa or 0.703 mmHg

Explanation:

(a) The density of the air at 22 deg C and 1 atm can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law:

$\rho_{air}=\frac{P}{R*T}$

First, we change the units of P to Pa and T to deg K:

$P=1 atm * \frac{101,325Pa}{1atm}=101,325 Pa\\\\ T=22+273.15=293.15^{\circ}K$

Then we have

$\rho_{air}=\frac{P}{R*T}=\frac{101325Pa}{287.05 J/(kg*K)*293.15K} =1.204 \frac{kg}{m3}$

(b) To calculate the change in pressure, we use again the Ideal Gas law, expressed in another way:

$PV=nRT\\P/T=nR/V=constant\Rightarrow P_{1}/T_{1}=P_{2}/T_{2}\\\\P_{2}=P_{1}*\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}=101325Pa*\frac{7+273.15}{22+273.15}=101,325Pa*0.9254=93,772Pa\\\\P2=93,772 Pa*\frac{1mmHg}{133,322Pa}= 0.703 mmHg$

(c) To calculate the force needed to open we have to multiply the difference of pressure between the inside of the freezer and the outside and the surface of the door. We also take into account that Pa = N/m2.

$F=S_{door}*\Delta P=2m^{2} *(101325Pa - 93772Pa)=2m^{2} *7553N/m2=15106N$
