Problem 11CQ In very humid climates where there are numerous bodies of water, such as in Florida, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 35C(95F) . In deserts, however, temperatures can rise far above this. Explain how the evaporation of water helps limit high temperatures in humid clim

Problem 67P The four bonds of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar because the bond polarity is canceled by the symmetric tetrahedral shape. When other atoms substitute for some of the Cl atoms, the symmetry is broken and the molecule becomes polar. Use Figure 9.20 (p.

A classic 1957 Chevrolet Corvette of mass 1240 kg starts from rest and speeds up with a constant tangential acceleration of 2.0 \(m/s^2\) on a circular test track of radius 60.0 m. Treat the car as a particle. (a) What is its angular acceleration? (b) What is its angular speed 6.00 s after it starts?

An archaeologist sometime in the future analyzes the iron used in an old building. The iron contains tiny amounts of nickel-63, with a half-life of 92 years. On the basis of the amount of nickel-63 and its decay products found, it is estimated that about 0.78% (1/128) of the original nickel-63 remain
